In his role with the Golden Griffins, Brown works with the program’s attackman and assists with game planning and recruiting.

“I am excited to add Frank to our staff,” Miyashita said. “Not only is he a decorated lacrosse player finding success at levels (collegiate, international, and professional), but he is an incredible person who is passionate about using lacrosse as a means to developing the student-athletes that we work with. His experiences in both the field and box games mesh with the concepts already being incorporated within our program. Our staff looks forward to the ideas that he is going to bring forth that will help the young men in our program thrive in all facets of their lives.”

A native of Red House, N.Y., Brown starred for four seasons at Hobart (2013-17), racking up 81 goals and 39 assists for 120 points in 57 career games played. As a senior, Brown garnered USILA All-America honorable mention and NEC Player of the Year accolades after recording a career-high 50 points (32g, 18a) during his final season with the Statesmen.

After recovering from injuries early in his career, Brown broke out for a team-high 44 points as a junior, leading Hobart to the NEC Tournament title and a berth in the NCAA Tournament. In addition to his athletic accomplishments, Brown majored in American studies and minored in history, earning USILA Scholar All-American honors.

“It’s hard to not sound cliché in these forums, but Frank is as advertised,” Hobart head coach Greg Raymond said. “He has depth for days. You name it: player development, skill development, offensive systems, spacing, ground ball play, work ethic, weight room technique, and an unequivocal sense for behavioral and leadership development. We’re extremely proud of Frank’s earned opportunity with the Golden Griffins. We have a tremendous amount of respect for Coach Miyashita and the Canisius program, and we know Frank will do great things for them.”

Professionally, Brown has played three seasons in the National Lacrosse League (NLL), recording 22 points (8g, 14a) and 78 ground balls in 29 career games played with the Buffalo Bandits, Rochester Knighthawks, Philadelphia Wings and Georgia Storm. He recently agreed to a two-year extension with the Bandits after being acquired by the franchise via trade during the 2020 regular season.
