Three Generations of Canadian Champions

Championship History

When Buster Brown (1909 - 2000) of Edmonton won a gold medal for Canada in the 4 x 100 relay at the 1930 British Empire Games (now the Commonwealth Games) little did he realize the legacy of success he would pass on to his children and grandchildren. Buster's son, James H. Brown, would go on to win a Canadian junior hockey championship with the 1963 Memorial Cup champion Edmonton Oil Kings and Buster's grandson, Trent Brown, would earn a Grey Cup ring as a hard-hitting defensive back with the 1993 Edmonton Eskimo football team.
 

Buster Brown (1909 - 2000) was inducted into the Alberta Sports Hall of Fame in 1966 and James H. Brown was inducted into the Alberta Sports Hall of Fame in 2009 as a member of the 1963 Edmonton Oil King hockey team. Trent Brown was inducted into the Edmonton Sports Hall of Fame in 2009 as a member of the 1993 Grey Cup champion Edmonton Eskimo football team.

Overcoming Adversity

The Brown family has had its share of adversity. At age 7 James H. Brown was diagnosed with a rare hip ailment which resulted in him being bedridden for a year and spending another year in a wheelchair. The Brown family never gave up hope that James would one day walk again but never dreamt that he would one day go on to play competitive hockey. But tragedy struck again. James had just started a promising hockey career with the Edmonton Oil Kings when his life was forever changed as a result of a head-on collision with an uninsured driver. Brown woke up, unable to move, in a hospital bed with a broken neck. His struggle back to health taught him just how much a devastating injury can affect someone's life. Brown credits this experience with being the motivational force behind his law firm's commitment to seriously injured persons and their families.
