The Boston University Terriers have enjoyed unparalleled success in men’s hockey for nearly nine decades. With four NCAA Division I national titles - more than any other eastern school - and 28 Beanpot championships in the tournament's 56-year history, BU has established itself as one of the top collegiate programs in the country, and plays to sell-out crowds at Agganis Arena, one of the finest hockey facilities in the country.
For many of the players who have donned the scarlet and white, success continues long after leaving BU. Twenty-five former Terriers have gone on to play for Team USA in the Olympic Games, including Mike Eruzione, Jim Craig, Jack O'Callahan and Dave Silk, who were on the 1980 “Miracle On Ice” U.S. Olympic Hockey Team. In addition, 58 former BU hockey players have enjoyed time in the National Hockey League, including two-time Stanley Cup winners Jay Pandolfo and Scott Young.
For the past 35 years, Terrier hockey has been guided by Jack Parker who, with 781 victories, ranks second in career wins among active coaches and first in all-time wins by a Division I coach at the same institution. For his efforts, Parker has been awarded the Spencer Penrose Memorial Trophy as the NCAA Coach of the Year three times. In the coming years, Parker, aided behind the bench by former Terriers David Quinn and Mike Bavis, will look to continue the tradition of excellence that BU hockey has come to represent.
