He is notable for his NHL debut at the age of 36, making him one of the oldest rookies in professional hockey history.[1] Playing careerBrooks had a long minor league career which included seven seasons for the Providence Reds of the American Hockey League (AHL), and shared the Harry "Hap" Holmes Memorial Award for lowest goals against average in the AHL with teammate Dan Bouchard in 1972. In the 1972–73 NHL season, the Bruins, who owned his rights, lost several goaltenders: top prospect Bouchard to expansion, star Gerry Cheevers to the World Hockey Association and veteran Eddie Johnston to a trade with the Toronto Maple Leafs. This opened the door for Brooks' recall as the backup goaltender. He excelled swiftly, matching a NHL record set by Bruins' goaltender Tiny Thompson in the 1920s for the longest consecutive winning streak by a goaltender,[1] 14 games (since surpassed by Patrick Lalime). Brooks played for the Bruins from 1972 until 1975, after which, upon the return of Cheevers to the organization, he played a single season for the Bruins' AHL Rochester Americans farm team before retiring. Playing for a powerhouse team that regularly finished around the top of the league standings, he compiled a career record of 37 wins, and only 7 losses and 6 ties with a goals against average of 2.63. His career winning percentage is one of the highest recorded for goalies with 50 or more decisions. Post-playing careerAfter his retirement, Brooks was a longtime executive for the Bruins' farm team in Providence, leaving that post in 2000. He currently manages operations of Schneider Arena on the campus of Providence College.[2] References1. ^1 {{cite book |last1=McFarlane |first1=Brian |title=Real Stories from the Rink |date=2002 |publisher=Tundra Books |isbn=9780887766046 |page=29 |url=https://books.google.ca/books?id=S7VEZHW1XnkC&pg=PA29&lpg=PA29&dq=Ross+Brooks+rookie&source=bl&ots=jn2Vo7XpUi&sig=dPsv3UX8Kofe3PGM1B8OsYnwJP8&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjdre2cuu3dAhWs7YMKHVcuCqoQ6AEwFXoECAAQAQ#v=onepage&q=Ross%20Brooks%20rookie&f=false |accessdate=4 October 2018 |language=en}} 2. ^{{cite web |last1=Divver |first1=Mark |title=Mark Divver: A hand from Milt Schmidt helped Ross Brooks make it with the Bruins |url=http://www.capecodtimes.com/sports/20170112/mark-divver-hand-from-milt-schmidt-helped-ross-brooks-make-it-with-bruins |website=capecodtimes.com |accessdate=4 October 2018 |language=en |date=12 January 2017}} External links
