Brian Shields

Brian Shields is a retired Canadian ice hockey goaltender who was a two-time All-American for Clarkson. Clarkson was expected to make the 1977 NCAA Tournament but the team was stunned by a 6–7 loss to Boston University in the conference semifinal. While the NCAA selection committee had recently changed the rules permitting them to add up to four additional teams to the tournament format as they saw fit, Clarkson lost the consolation game 4–5 and gave the committee no reason to include a team that couldn't win when it counted.

Shields retired as a player after graduating from Clarkson. He was later named to the ECAC Hockey all-decade team.
