Who is Brian Passmore?

Brian Passmore is a retired Canadian professional ice hockey player who last played for the Oklahoma City Blazers of the CHL. In 1997 he began playing at major junior level for the Plymouth Whalers of the OHL. Passmore played there for just one season, before moving the short distance to sign for the Oshawa Generals, again in the OHL, where he stayed for two seasons. Passmore's productivity meant that in the 2000 NHL Entry Draft, he was selected by the Minnesota Wild in the seventh round, pick number 199 overall, but failed to impress.

Passmore returned to the OHL, this time icing for the Guelph Storm. Over his four seasons in the OHL, Passmore's points production was more than respectable, a total of 171 points in 243 games. Passmore's potential was seen by the University of Prince Edward Island, with whom he played for two seasons. After his two-year University career, he moved into the ECHL. During a frantic 2003–04 season, Passmore played for no less than four teams – the Cincinnati Cyclones, the Greenville Grrrowl, the Texas Wildcatters and the Fresno Falcons. Due to the lack of any time to familiarise himself with his teammates, Passmore struggled for points.
