Born in Guelph, Ontario, Brooks played junior hockey for the Guelph Lyons of the Ontario Hockey Association (OHA) in 1906–07. He turned professional with the Duquesne Athletic Club of the Western Pennsylvania Hockey League in 1908–09. He moved to Owen Sound, Ontario and played amateur hockey with the Owen Sound Seniors of the OHA until 1914, when he enlisted in the military. He left the military in 1916 and joined the Toronto Blueshirts of the NHA in their 1916–17 shortened season. The following year the Blueshirts were given to the Toronto Arena Company to operate and Brooks played four games for Toronto in their Stanley Cup-winning season, although he was released from the club when the club signed Hap Holmes. Brooks was the goalie for Toronto in the first-ever NHL game, a 10–9 loss to the Montreal Wanderers, and the following three games.[1] He retired after the season.
