Boston College hockey 2021-2022

Seacaptim, Jackson would be an excellent fit for you guys. He is one of the reasons we play you well. He is quick, has great hands, responsible defensively and with a better supporting cast he will be a bigger scorer. He will come closer to the 35/40 point level.

Thank you. BC needs to return to these quicker type players who can ignite scoring. We have some promising freshmen like Gauthier, Jellvik, and Gasseau coming, and Jackson would be excellent veteran to complement a line. Hope York is talking with him.
 
Feel good story of the week, undrafted local kid, plays 4 years at BC, captains two teams, makes the Olympics, now playing for the Bruins and scores a goal in first game. Looks like his skates didn't touch the ice. Doesn't get any better than this. Good for him.
 
BC lands Norte Dame transfer Cam Burke F/C. Senior coming off his most productive season 8 goals/11 assists in 38 games. 5’9” 170 Boxborough native. Injured his Jr. season. Seems to notch timely goals.
 
Seems like a 3rd line depth piece which you can always use. Probably similar to a Carreau I would think. With a little more offensive upside.
 
The ESPN that mookie just saw reads Zion Johnson is going to the stillers.

this dude any good? Worth it here?
 
Played multiple positions and seems to be very little bust factor with him. I'd say end of first round is right. Might be a tad high for Steelers but I am no expert.
 
Congratulations Coach York! This Bowling Green fan appreciates the 15 years spent as a Falcon. BG's 1984 National Title is still my favorite sports moment.
 
[stick taps] for one hell of a career

What could’ve been lost in all my excitement from the ‘06 championship game, but I’m glad I noticed, was a gesture from Coach York.

As UW was celebrating, the BC players started shuffling off the ice. York got to them, and had them all come back to the ice to the corner to give a stick salute to the BC fan section.

Plenty of great moments for BC in the middle of a lot of excellent seasons from 01-16, and I’m sure BC fans enjoy the titles a lot more. But I liked getting the measure of a great coach in that little moment.
 
hearing jrrrry “retired” ala Tom Brady and wants to go coach the terriors and return them to glory like he cleaned up bc in the mid 90s

This is the right move for York and BC. It was time.

Barring a staff shakeup, I agree. Selfishly, disappointed to find out after the season without a proper send-off but that just epitomizes who he is. He changed the profile of BC hockey forever and is the greatest coach in BC athletics history. I hope he stays connected with the program and leads the charge for a new rink.
 
Conte Forum is fine. If Princeton can skate at 100-year-old Baker Rink, BC is OK where it is. Need to start winning consistently again.
 
Thanks for the memories JY. I had hoped he would stay for one more Nattie but he gave the university and his players his very best for 28 years. He is really the most positive and upbeat person I have ever met. Enjoy the next chapter.
 
The GOAT is gone. It absolutely was time. But it was an absolutely absurd run of success from 1997 through the mid-2010s before falling off dramatically.

Very interesting this is happening while BU is also searching for another coach as well.

I have to think Greg Brown is a front-runner along with Cavanaugh. Will be interesting to hear who is submitting resumes and getting interviews for this job.
 
The intracity rivalry aside, this Northeastern fan could never find a way to dislike Jerry York. He was, is, and will remain a man of integrity who personifies everything that is good and noble about our game. Fair winds and following seas, coach.

It's a shame he didn't get a proper send off during the season but I'm not surprised whatsoever. The greatest college hockey coach of all time will be missed.

It'll be very interesting to see who they hire next and who helps make the decision on the hiring. There's the obvious Cavanaugh or Brown and then there's outside shots of Rand Pecknold or Greg Carvel. Will be very interesting to see what direction they go in

Being fine does not mean you can't do better. Conte host two hockey teams and two basketball teams. How many arenas do that?
