Playing career edit

Brine spent three years with the Halifax Mooseheads of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League, where he scored 100 points as a 20-year-old in 2005–06. He ended the season playing nine playoff games with the Manitoba Moose of the American Hockey League.

In 2006, Brine was a contestant on the Global reality series Making the Cut: Last Man Standing. Though he did not win the series, Brine impressed Mike Keenan enough to earn a tryout with the Florida Panthers. Signed as an undrafted free agent by the Panthers, Brine spent two years with the Panthers minor league affiliates before making his NHL debut with the Panthers on February 2, 2008.[2]

After playing two years for KHL Medvescak Zagreb of the Austrian Erste Bank Eishockey Liga and their affiliate KHL Medvescak II of the Croatian Ice Hockey League, Brine signed with High1 of the Asian League for the 2013–14 season.
