Prior to coming to Bismarck, Willie Brown scored eight goals with the Topeka Roadrunners. Since joining the team, Brown has been getting help from Jared Pike. Jared has been taking care of the newest cat in town by showing Willie around, and the only thing that Brown does not like about Bismarck is the cold weather. As far as how he found out about the trade to the Bobcats, he was practicing with his Roadrunner teammates, and coach Langer called him into his office after their practice, and said that he had been traded. After the talk with the coach, he left and called his parents about the trade, and how he was not a Roadrunner anymore. He did not end up in Bismarck right away. He went to Rio Grande valley first, and from there he went to Bismarck, so he could be closer to his home of Moorhead, MN. Brown knows you have to earn your way back through trying out, even if you were with the team the year prior.
