The soul of Canucks minor hockey
.for more than 20 years, Rod Brathwaite has been running the show for Canucks minor hockey programs by Derek Jory @NoJoryous / Contract writer
If Rod Brathwaite had kept his eyes on the prize, he believes his chances of becoming an NHL goalie were good. His younger brother Fredrick defied the odds with his short stature and cat like reflexes to make it as a NHL puck stopper, retiring with 254 games played between four teams from 1993 to 2004.
What a family goaltending tandem they could have been.
Brathwaite doesn t look back with remorse, however. His inability to stay focused and on track with sports led to an unexpected career helping thousands of others stay focused and on track with sports - including his brother.
