Brumwell made a good offensive contribution when he first came to the Devils, especially during his second season with the
team. Of the 7 goals he scored, 5 were on the power play. Good ratio there.
The Devils did get deeper on the major league level over those couple years, so Brumwell went from being the extra defenseman
to one of the regulars in the AHL lineup, be it with both the Maine Mariners and later the Utica Devils, whom he captained for a
time. He would win the Calder Cup with the Mariners in 84, and would be chosen to the AHL Second All-Star team with Utica
in 88, amassing 66 points that season on the strength of 53 assists, his best offensive output as a pro.
He would leave the Devils (both Utica and the organization) in 1989, signing on with New Haven of the AHL. (I think they were
LA's AHL rep at the time?) He would play 2 seasons with them before retiring.
