Omer Brandt
Ice Hockey player
Omer Brandt (1926-2019) was a Canadian ice hockey forward who played for Colorado College in the 1950s.
Career
Brandt earned a college scholarship through his ability on the ice and began attending Colorado College in 1949. While he was with the freshman team, CC won its first National Championship. When Brandt joined the varsity squad the following year, he became an instant hit on offense, finishing as one of the top scorers in the nation with 59 points in 25 games. Brant helped CC return to the national tournament but the defense faltered and the Tigers allowed 15 goals in 2 games, finishing 4th. Brandt nearly repeated his performance in his junior season, finishing with 54 points in 25 games, and earned recognition on the All-MCHL First Team and was an AHCA Second Team All-American.
Colorado College again made the tournament and were heading for the same fate when they fell behind Yale 0–3 in the first period, but Brandt scored CC's first goal and began a monumental comeback that saw the Tigers win 4–3. In the championship game, however, Michigan was too much for the Tigers and Brandt's team lost 1–4. Many of CC's top players graduated in 1952 and weren't readily replaced, causing the Tigers to drop in the standings the following year. Brandt's point total slipped to 34 in 20 games but he still led the team in scoring.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Omer Brandt” as ice Hockey player. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the people & ideas register because the source frames it as ice Hockey player. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Chronology provides the most reliable spine for this subject; interpretation should follow only after identities and dates are secure. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jan 27, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q97500587. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1926, 2019, 1949 and 1952.
A concise life account rarely captures disputed attribution, private networks or the changing language used to describe a career. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
