Has anyone heard about this man?
I honestly think he's one of the greatest athlete's ever produced from Trinidad and Tobago, and I am positive that hardly anyone knows him.
The amount of achivements he has is riduculous, and he is by far the greatest caribbean hockey player of all time in my opinion:
This fella went to univesity in England(London Metropolitan), and brought his team from four divisions below the premiership to eventually winning the premiership title in 5 years...that means each year he helped the team get promoted one division higher, and in his final year helped them win the premiership...draw an ananlogy to football here....that's only 1 player out of 11 doing this
some might say oh that's only university hockey...the man also took his English Club Side(East Grinstead) from 2 divisions below the premiership, and player/coached them into the premiership this year.....that means again every year he played, he helped them get promoted a division higher
kwan has also played hockey in holand(the mecca for hockey), and premiership hockey in England years aback....
he is so good that England has approached him to play for them, and he loyally denied...the man is trini to de bone
he is so good that a hockey stick company(vampire) developed a hockey stick and named it after him...imagine "Spalding" developing a basketball calling it Jordan...or imagine grays cricket bat develop a bat named after Lara
after all these sport accomplishments, the man isn't just a humble sports personality...
he have a wife, a child, a law degree, 2 masters.....
he's currently only 28 years old and has recently took trinidad to its first ever indoor world cup....there's is still loads more wonderful achievements he has to accomplish
Respect Brudda!

You know a lot about him. His wife had their second child this month by the way. The accomplishment at university level is doubly significant since it was done using mainly T&T players, 1 Argentine, 1 Mexican and 1 Bajan. The other top universities get the best talent from England, South Africa and other places across the globe. Those guys won beating international players from some of the best countries in the world.
Since hockey is not particularly popular and not well reported on it's easy for his and the accomplishments of other hockey personalities to go unnoticed.

Ice hockey and field hockey are two completely different sports. The only similarity in games is the "hockey" part of the name and that they both have "sticks". Field hockey is just like football in every basic way except that one is a game of the feet (and other legal body parts) and the other a game of the hands manipulating a hockey stick.
Just FYI.

true, it's ridiculous how similar field hockey is to football: same strategies regarding the different formations a team could have/ the defensive are offensive traps are very similar/also the basic concepts of running off the ball, 2vs1's etc......
One main difference between the sports is that there's no offside in hockey...i.e. more goals ;D

Browne is to T&T hockey what Latas is to we football.
De man is simply a superstar.
