After two years with the Penticon Knights of the British Columbia Junior Hockey League, center Todd Brost entered the University of Michigan and spent four years on the school’s ice hockey team. During his final year in Ann Arbor he joined the Canadian national men’s ice hockey team, an affiliation that culminated in his appearance at the 1992 Winter Olympics, where Canada won its first medal (silver) at the tournament since 1968. Brost suited up for eight matches, but did not score any goals. The remainder of his career was eclectic; he skated with the Salt Lake Golden Eagles of the International Hockey League in 1992-1993, returned to Team Canada the following year, and then joined the Huntington Blizzard of the East Coast Hockey League for his final season in 1994-1995. He even tried his hand in roller hockey, playing fourteen games with the Phoenix Cobras of Roller Hockey International in 1994. Since his retirement he has been involved with coaching, most notably with the Elmira Jackals of the East Coast Hockey League and, in 2007, was named Elmira Youth Hockey President. He also won the Western Professional Hockey League Coach of the Year Award in 1997 as head coach of the El Paso Buzzards, whom he led from 1996 through 2000.
