Brandon was drafted by the New Jersey Devils in the 3rd round of the 2001 NHL Entry Draft, then again in the 4th round of the 2003 NHL Entry Draft by the Vancouver Canucks. Brandon played professional hockey for 5 years, playing for the Manitoba Moose (AHL), Columbia Inferno (ECHL), Vaxjo Lakers (Swedish League), Bridgeport Sound Tigers (AHL), Albany River Rats (AHL), and the Carolina Hurricanes (NHL).
