BUFFALO, New York -- Before Harrison Browne could walk, he could skate.Last season the 23-year-old forward nicknamed Brownie helped his pro hockey team in Buffalo to the championship series, and with the season opener Friday, Buffalo aims for more than just a shot at a title in 2016-17.Its the first game against the team that beat us in the finals last year, Browne said. Its going to be a really good test.It is a reset for Buffalo -- but for Browne, it is a historic, new chapter. Browne, a rising star on the Buffalo Beauts of the National Womens Hockey League, is the first openly transgender player in?American professional team sports.I identify as a man, Browne said in an interview in New York City, before catching a flight to make practice in western New York. My family is starting to come to grips with it, now its my time to be known as who I am, to be authentic and to hear my name said right when I get a point, or see my name on a website.Browne, a former junior circuit player from Canada, was recruited by the University of Maine to play Division I hockey on scholarship, and graduated in 2014.It was at Maine where Browne first identified himself privately to coaches as transgender -- a step that he credits today with improving his game.On the ice, when I put that equipment on, Im a hockey player. I dont think about who Im playing with, I dont think Im playing with women. I dont think Im in the wrong body, he said.Off the ice, I felt more comfortable having my friends call me what I wanted to be called, referring to me with the pronouns that I wanted. If anything, my product on the ice was let loose and I could be myself.The plan was to medically transition after college -- but the creation of the NWHL in the spring of his senior year led to a decision to put off the transition. Browne acknowledges he is in limbo as a transgender man on a womens team but you have to be your authentic self to be happy ... hockey makes me extremely happy.NWHL commissioner Dani Rylan said the league is now working on a policy that will include transgender athletes, and that the womens league is accepting of a transgender man on a team roster.At the end of the day, Harrison is the same player he was last year, Rylan said. Were here to support him. Its really not a big deal when you look at it, were respecting his name, the pronouns and his request to be his authentic self.Support has been a major thread of our team unity and success, Beauts GM Ric Seiling said. And that goes beyond the rink.Browne has decided to postpone a medical transition until hes done playing in the NWHL, and hes not changing his legal name right now for visa reasons. Browne says he is not closing the door to transitioning to the mens side of the sport one day depending on how his body changes.Im still the same player, Im still playing in the body that I did last year, Im still the same exact person. Im just a different name and different pronouns, thats it. Im still Brownie.Roger Staubach Womens Jersey . Now that hes hitting streaking teammates with pin-point passes for easy layups, Love is asserting himself as one of the true superstars in the league. Taco Charlton Womens Jersey . The 29-year-old from Port Colborne, Ont., has nothing but good things to say about former U.S. marine Liz (Girlrilla) Carmouche ahead of their co-main event Wednesday on the UFCs "Fight for the Troops" televised card in Fort Campbell, Ky. https://www.cowboyssportsgoods.com/Womens-Michael-Gallup-Inverted-Jersey/ .C. - The Carolina Hurricanes have placed backup goalie Anton Khudobin on injured reserve with an unspecified lower-body injury. Leighton Vander Esch Youth Jersey . "No difference at all," chirped U.S. roommate and linemate James van Riemsdyk. "Its still the same cranky Phil. Darren Woodson Jersey . With the first unit struggling of late and Amir Johnson - one of the teams iron men - hobbling on an injured right ankle, Patterson knew he could get the nod in a challenging matchup against one of the leagues up and coming players at his position.What is #CFBrank? #CFBrank is the Twitter hashtag to use if you want to get involved in the discussion or just follow along.How did we rank the players? We asked 32 of ESPNs college football writers, editors and analysts to rate players on a scale of 0-10 based on their expected contributions for the 2016 season.100-91 | 90-81 |?80-71 |?70-61 | 60-51 |?50-41 | 40-31 | 30-21 | 20-11 | 10-140. Chad Kelly Ole Miss Rebels Senior | Quarterback Score: 7.88Theres not much debate when it comes to the best quarterback in the SEC. Its Kelly and then everybody else. The junior-college transfer took the league by storm last year, leading all players in passing yards (4,042), passing touchdowns (31) and total offense (349 yards per game).39. Budda Baker Washington Huskies Junior | Defensive Back Score: 7.89Talk to any pro expert who has seen the Huskies play in person, and hell tell you that Washingtons suffocating secondary is filled with future NFL talent. Baker is the ringleader of the Pac-12s best back end unit. With an excellent first step and anticipatory skills, he covers the vast expanses of center field with a stars efficiency.38. Eddie Vanderdoes UCLA Bruins Junior | Defensive Lineman Score: 7.90The 6-foot-3, 305-pound junior was off to a dominating start in the 2015 season opener against Virginia -- a team-high eight tackles, two coming for a loss -- when he blew out his knee and was lost for the season. The good news for UCLA is Vanderdoes was expected to enter the NFL draft last spring, so having him around another year should provide a massive, athletic presence to the Bruins defensive front.37. Dan Feeney Indiana Hoosiers Senior | Offensive Lineman Score: 7.93Feeney is one of the best offensive linemen in the country and a favorite to close his final season as an All-American. He has allowed just one sack in 37 career starts, which spans 2,719 snaps. A year ago, he didnt surrender any sacks in 475 called pass attempts. Hes as steady as they come on the line. - Jesse Temple36. Seth Russell Baylor Bears Senior | Quarterback Score: 7.94Strong-armed and athletic, Russell vaulted into the Heisman Trophy conversation in the first half of last season before he suffered a season-ending neck injury in Week 8. He threw for 2,104 yards and 29 touchdowns to rank first nationally in raw QBR. The fifth-year senior sits first in school history in yards per passing attempt and completion.35. TreDavious White LSU Tigers Senior | Cornerback Score: 7.97Not only is White one of the SECs top covver cornerbacks and a fine punt returner, he also possesses one of the most resonant voices in LSUs locker room.dddddddddddd Last year he became the rare junior recipient of LSUs No. 18 jersey, worn annually by one of the teams top leaders.34. Roderick Johnson Florida State Seminoles Junior | Offensive Lineman Score: 7.98An improved offensive line is expected at Florida State, and a major reason is Johnson having cemented the left tackle spot. A three-year starter, few tackles offer the secure blindside protection of Johnson. Seminoles coaches rave about Johnsons mental capacity for the position.33. Eddie Jackson Alabama Crimson Tide Senior | Safety Score: 8.00He could have been content with tying for the league lead in interceptions last season. He could have left early for the draft and been taken in the early rounds, too. But Jackson felt like there was unfinished business. For Alabama, it feels more like untapped potential. Because for as good as Jackson was last season, its important to remember that it was the former cornerbacks first season at the position.32. Tim Williams Alabama Crimson Tide Senior | Linebacker Score: 8.07Think about it: How many players in college football could legitimately have been drafted last season without ever starting a game? Not many, right? But Williams was the exception, a lethal pass-rush specialist who recorded double-digit sacks coming off the bench. Now, after bypassing the draft, he returns to school ready to prove hes an every-down linebacker.31. Carl Lawson Auburn Tigers Junior | Defensive Lineman Score: 8.10The issue for Lawson hasnt been a lack of talent. It has been staying on the field. He has played in just seven games the past two seasons. But when healthy, Lawson -- the former No. 2 overall player in the ESPN 300 -- is one of the more dominant pass-rushers in the SEC.100-91 | 90-81 |?80-71 |?70-61 | 60-51 |?50-41 | 40-31 | 30-21 | 20-11 | 10-1Voters: Andrea Adelson, Edward Aschoff, Brian Bennett, Kyle Bonagura, David Ching, Heather Dinich, Matt Fortuna, Kevin Gemmell, David Hale, Travis Haney, Brock Huard, Chantel Jennings, Sharon Katz, Sam Khan Jr., David Lombardi, Chris Low, Tom Luginbill, Ivan Maisel, Ryan McGee, Erik McKinney, Ted Miller, Dan Murphy, Max Olson, Greg Ostendorf, Adam Rittenberg, Alex Scarborough, Jared Shanker, Mitch Sherman, Phil Steele, Jake Trotter, Tom VanHaaren, Austin Ward ' ' '
