BOSTON COLLEGE vs. MASSACHUSETTSMassachusetts will be the first team Boston College scratches off its Hockey East list when the Eagles and Minutemen collide on Friday night at the Mullins Center. Boston College and UMass met on Oct. 25 where the Eagles skated away with their first league victory of 2014-15 with a 4-1 win on The Heights thanks to a pair of 5-on-3 goals for Adam Gilmour and three assists for Michael Matheson. That victory ended a two-game winless streak at home against Massachusetts. In their last four trips to Amherst, the Eagles are 2-2 and at the Mullins Center, overall, since the Minutemen joined Hockey East, Boston College has mounted a 26-5-1 mark on UMass ice. BC pieced together a 16-game winning streak at the Mullins Center that spanned almost 20 years from Jan. 19, 1995, to Dec. 10, 2005. Saturday marks the 74th meeting all-time against UMass as the Eagles have the upper hand with a 56-13-4 mark and a 51-11-4 mark in Hockey East play. Friday’s matinee marks BC’s first trip back to the Mullins Center since a gritty 2-1 victory on Nov. 14, 2013.
A MINUTE ON UMASSThe Minutemen snapped a three-game losing streak against American International in dominating fashion on Nov. 7 in a 7-1 triumph. UMass has not played since that day and has had an odd two-week break before the Eagles come to town. Massachusetts sports a 3-5-0 record with a 1-4-0 mark in Hockey East play. UMass lost its season opener against Boston University, 8-1, before splitting at BC’s most recent site, Michigan State. The following weekend, UMass beat Northeastern at Matthews Arena before its loss to BC at Kelley Rink. The Minutemen were then swept by Maine before the AIC victory. Second-year forward Steven Iacobellis is tied for 28th nationally in scoring with 1.12 points per game. The sophomore has netted three goals and six assists while newcomer Dennis Kravchenko has posted four goals and as many assists to be tied for 42nd in the NCAA, averaging a point per game. Kravchenko’s hot start has him tied for the fifth most prolific scoring freshmen in college hockey to date. Iacobellis and Kravchenko lead an offense that’s tied for 15th in scoring. On the flipside, the Minutemen have struggled to keep opponents out of the net, surrendering four goals per game. Only three other teams in college hockey have a high mark in team defense than UMass. Freshman Henry Dill and senior Steve Mastalerz have split time in net as Dill’s goals against average (3.41) ranks 65th, overall, while Mastalerz mark of 4.90 goals against is 76th. Dill is 3-2-0 on the season while Mastalerz has lost all three games he has started. UMass’ special teams rank near the middle of the pack on both sides. The penalty-killing unit ranks 29th (27-of-32 – 84.4 percent) while the power play is tied for 33rd (4-of-28 – 14.3 percent) in the NCAA.
SAME AS SNOOKSBoston College head coach Jerry York matched legendary skipper, John ‘Snooks’ Kelley (1932-42 & 1946-72), as the winningest coach in program history after the victory at Michigan State on Nov. 14. In all, Kelley coached for 36 years and had York under his wing as a player. Kelley’s overall mark at BC was 501-244-15 (.670). York, in his 21st season as head coach at BC, is 501-247-68 (.656). A win against Massachusetts will give him the all-time wins record as an Eagle head coach.
FIVE (hundred) ALIVEJerry York won his 500th game behind the Eagles’ bench in only 811 games after a 2-1 victory at Denver on Oct. 31, 2014. York continues to maintain the label as college hockey’s winninges coach all-time, possessing a 968-582-102 mark in his 43rd season as a college hockey head coach.
TOUGH THROUGH TWOBoston College has proved how important it is to get out ahead early. The Eagles are 4-1-0 with a lead after two periods of regulation, yet have not come back to win a game while facing a deficit through 40 minutes of regulation. The Eagles are 0-3-0 when down after two periods of play.

WERESTILLNOTING
14-15hockeyeaststandings
POWER PLAY IS PARAMOUNTScoring on the power play has proved to be key to the Eagles’ success in the early goings of the 2014-15 schedule. Boston College has scored at least one goal or more in four of its five victories thus far. Conversely, the Eagles are 1-5 when denied a power play goal. In all, Boston College has converted five of its 47 chances at a rate of 10.6 percent which ranks 4th in the country right now.
REMEMBER THE LAST TIME BC LOST FOUR GAMES? The last time Boston College lost four consecutive games, you would have to look back to the 2003-04 season when the Eagles lost to New Hampshire (3-2 - Feb. 28), Maine (3-0 and 3-4, March 5-6) and Boston University (3-2, March 11). That season, the Eagles went on to compete in the 2004 Frozen Four, in Boston, eventually falling to Maine in the national semifinal, 2-1, on April 8, 2004. BC snapped its recent four-game slide in a 3-2 triumph at Michigan State on Nov. 14.
SHUTOUT STREAK STOPPED UPBoston College was shutout at Connecticut on Nov. 5 in the first-ever meeting between the Eagles and the Huskies. The Eagles owned the longest streak in the country of scoring at least one goal in 106 games with their last shutout transpiring on Jan. 13, 2012, at Massachusetts. In 813 games behind Boston College’s bench, Jerry York has been held scoreless only 20 times total.
OFFENSIVE ONSLAUGHTThe Eagles scored six goals in back-to-back games on Oct. 18 and Oct. 24 against RIT and Colorado College, in that order. The last time Boston College combined for 12 goals in two games was last season when the Eagles defeated Boston University, 6-4, and Maine, 7-2, back-to-back on Jan. 17-18, 2014. Under Jerry York, Boston College has combined for 12 goals or more over the span of two games all but three times in a single season. The only seasons BC has never scored 12 or more goals in back-to-back games was 1994-95 (first season), 2003-04 and 2012-13.
HOCKEY HALL CALLThree members of the Boston College hockey family were enshrined as part of the 2014 Class of the BC Varsity Club Hall of Fame, including Jeff Farkas ('00), William Hogan (‘33) and Marty Reasoner (‘98). Farkas earned All-America accolades, was a Hobey Baker finalist and ranks sixth all-time in scoring (190). Hogan was instrumental in resurrecting this treasured sport at Boston College, following suspension of hockey as a varsity sport during the Great Depression. Reasoner earned NCAA East first-team honors, AHCA All-America honors, twice captured All-Hockey East first-team honors and helped bring BC to the NCAA National Championship game in 1998.
BABY BIRD(S)Rookie defenseman Noah Hanifin is not just the second-youngest player in all of college hockey, he is the second-youngest player EVER to don the maroon and gold. The Norwood, Mass., native will not turn 18 years old until Jan. 25, 2015. Michigan’s Zach Werenski (DOB: July 19, 1997) is college hockey’s youngest player. Boston College, as a whole, is the second-youngest club in college hockey behind Boston University. Last season, BC goaltender Thatcher Demko owned the distinction of being college hockey’s youngest player.
EagleHallCALLOne-third of the BC Varsity Club Hall of Fame - Class of 2014 - was made up from the men’s ice hockey contingent. These three Eagles were enshrined into the BC Varsity Club Hall of Fame on Friday, Oct. 17, and were recognized at halftime of the Eagles’ football game against Clemson.
WERESTILLNOTINGBC: THE NHL’s FIRST CHOICENot only did Boston College lead all of college hockey in 2013-14 by dispersing 26 Eagles across the National Hockey League, BC has placed 18 skaters on opening night rosters for the 2014-15 NHL season. That mark is tops in Hockey East. In regards to college hockey, seven first-round picks are among the nearly 200 NHL draft picks on college rosters, including at least one on 40 teams. Boston College is the only team in the country with two first-round draft picks, including junior captain Michael Matheson (Florida – 23rd) and Alex Tuch (Minnesota – 18th).
CHANGING OF THE GUARDFollowing yet another 25-win year, fourth in the last five seasons for Boston College, the Eagles leapfrogged Boston University in all-time win percentage in Hockey East play. In 30 seasons, the Eagles have compiled a 444-248-73 record for a league-best 62.8 win percentage in 30 seasons as a found member of Hockey East.
SEASON 26 AT KELLEY RINKBC celebrates its 26th season of playing hockey on Kelley Rink at Conte Forum. Starting in 1988, the BC’s overall record at Kelley Rink is 288-111-35 (.704). The Eagles played at McHugh Forum prior from 1958-86 when Boston College posted an overall mark of 282-95-10 (.748).
#TEAMDREWBROWNHockey East is all about competition and brotherhood. Providence College’s Drew Brown will miss this season as he battles Ewing’s sarcoma, a rare form of bone cancer. For those that would like to help donate to Brown’s cause, the fundraising campaign is called “Dropping Mitts Against Cancer”. More information is located here: gofundme.com/93da50
Jeff Farkas played four years on the Eagles’ hockey team. In 2000, Farkas earned All-America accolades, was a Hobey Baker finalist, and received the Norman F. Dailey Memorial Award given by the Pike’s Peak Hockey Club to the team’s MVP. During his incredible career, the Eagles finished with an exemplary 99-52-14 record with two Hockey East Championships and three Frozen Four appearances.
The sport of ice hockey at Boston College - as we know it today - would not exist without the efforts of William M. Hogan. A native of Cambridge, Massachusetts, Hogan was instrumental in resurrecting this treasured sport at BC, following suspension of hockey as a varsity sport during the Great Depression. When the team gathered at Boston Arena for its first varsity game, the players unanimously voted Hogan as team captain.
Marty Reasoner played three years on the Eagles’ hockey team. Leading the team in scoring in each of his seasons, Reasoner earned NCAA East first-team honors, AHCA All-America honors, and twice captured All-Hockey East first-team honors. He helped bring BC to the NCAA National Championship game in 1998. Reasoner represented the U.S. in the 1996 and 1997 World Junior Championships, and the 2002, 2003 and 2006 World Championships.

The Carneys Point, N.J., native also scored in back-to-back games on Nov. 11 and Nov. 14, marking his first-career point streak. Gaudreau has played in 12 career games and netted his first-career goal against Army on Nov. 10.
ZACH ATTACHSRookie Zach Sanford did his duty dishing the puck, recording six assists in his first nine games as an Eagle. In his 10th game, Sanford found the back of the net on Nov. 14 in East Lansing, Mich.
FITZ BLITZSophomore Ryan Fitzgerald exploded for another two-goal performance against Boston University on Nov. 7, marking his second outburst in four games.

SHORTY WANNA RIDERyan Fitzgerald scored Boston College’s first short-handed goal of the season. It not only stands as his first-career short-handed goal, it was the Eagles’ first unassisted tally of the season. Fitzgerald is one of 12 Hockey East skaters with a short-handed goal this season.
FIVE-ON-THREE FLURRYSophomore Adam Gilmour tallied a pair of 5-on-3 goals against Massachusetts on Oct. 25 with help from the same two defensemen in Noah Hanifin and Michael Matheson. A few seasons have come and gone since the Eagles scored two
5-on-3 power play goals in one game. The last time Boston College turned the trick was on Nov. 27, 2009, against Clarkson when Paul Carey and Carl Sneep’s game-winning goal both came with a two-skater advantage.
GIMMIE MOUR GILMOURFollowing his two power play goal performance and an assist with a career-high six shots against UMass on Oct. 25, Adam Gilmour picked up Boston College’s second-consecutive Hockey East honor after claiming Player of the Week honors on Monday, Oct. 27.

QUINN CANQuinn Smith delivered his first game-winning goal and fifth of his career at Michigan State on Nov. 14. The Fairfield, Conn., native has already surpassed his goal total (2) from his junior season. Smith is BC’s fourth-leading career goal scorer with 14.
STRAIGHT UPDestry Straight provided the Eagles’ lone goal in BC’s 2-1 overtime loss at Denver on Oct. 31 and also scored against Harvard on Nov. 11. The West Vancouver, B.C., native is second on the team in career goals scored with 17.
ROOKIE PARTYFreshmen Zach Sanford and Alex Tuch both recorded their first points as Eagles against RIT on Oct. 18. Sanford exploded for a playmaker, registering three assists. Tuch scored early in the third period in front of the hometown crowd, just a few miles from where he grew up. Hanifin’s first career point was a goal against Colorado College and he followed that with a two-assist performance against UMass on Oct. 25.
SILKY SMOOTHJunior Brendan Silk posted his first-career multi-point game with a pair of assists in the victory against RIT on Oct. 18. That contest marked the junior’s 75th-career game.
CASH CAMCam Spiro set up the play for Teddy Doherty’s game-winning goal against RIT on Oct. 18. it marked the Hingham, Mass., native’s first point since March 15, 2013.

BCNumbersGameCoaches that are Boston College hockey alums – Jerry York, Greg Brown and Marty McInnis. All three have been inducted into Boston College Varsity Club Hall of Fame.
With NCAA Division I championships in 2008, 2010 and 2012, Boston College became the first team since 1961 to win three championships in six seasons; Murray Armstrong’s Denver team won three titles in four years (1958, 1960, 1961). The all-time best is five titles in six years, accomplished by Michigan (1951, 1952, 1953, 1955 and 1956).
NCAA Championships in the last 13years. During that time period, only Denver and Minnesota, each with two, have won multiple national titles.
Boston College has competed in five of the last nine national championship games – 2006 (Wisconsin, 1-2), 2007 (Michigan State, 1-3), 2008 (Notre Dame, 4-1), 2010 (Wisconsin, 5-0) and 2012 (Ferris State, 4-1).
Frozen Four appearances in the last 17 years; the highest total among all teams in college hockey. Only Boston College (11), North Dakota (eight), Michigan (six), Minnesota (five) and Michigan State (three) have advanced to more than two Frozen Fours during that time period.
Freshman forward Alex Tuch was selected by the Minnesota Wild (18th overall) in the 2014 NHL Entry Draft, becoming the 15th Eagle in the last 27 years to have been selected in the first round of the NHL Draft. He joins Brian Leetch (ninth, 1986), Craig Janney (13th, 1986), Bill Guerin (fifth, 1989), Marty Reasoner (14th, 1996), Brooks Orpik (18th, 2000), Krys Kolanos (19th, 2000), Chuck Kobasew (14th, 2001), Brian Boyle (26th, 2003), Patrick Eaves(29th, 2003), Cory Schneider (26th, 2004), Nick Petrecki (28th, 2007), Chris Kreider (19th, 2009), Kevin Hayes (24th, 2010) and Michael Matheson(23rd, 2012) as Boston College first-round draftees.
Defensemen Ian McCoshen and Steve Santini alongside goaltender Thatcher Demko were members of the 2014 U.S. National Junior Team that competed at the International Ice Hockey Federation World Junior Championships in Malmo, Sweden. Last year’s trio of freshmen were the 22nd, 23rd and 24th Eagle participants in World Junior play under head coach Jerry York, joining Jeff Farkas (1996, 1997, 1998), Marty Reasoner (1996, 1997), Blake Bellefuille (1997), Brian Gionta (1998, 1999), Mike Mottau (1998), Bobby Allen (1998), Brooks Orpik (2000), J.D. Forrest (2001), Ben Eaves (2002), Chuck Kobasew (Canada; 2002), Patrick Eaves (2003, 2004), Ryan Shannon (2003), Dan Bertram (Canada; 2006, 2007), Cory Schneider (2005, 2006), Nathan Gerbe (2006, 2007), Jimmy Hayes (2009), Chris Kreider (2010, 2011), Brian Dumoulin (2011), Patrick Wey (2011), Bill Arnold (2012) and Johnny Gaudreau (2013).
Former Eagles saw NHL action in 2013-14; the most of any program in college hockey. Wisconsin had the second most alums with 21 last season.
NCAA Tournament victories in the last 17 years. That win total is 18 victories more than Michigan, which has totaled 20 NCAA wins since 1998, the second-highest tournament win total in college hockey.
Since Jerry York led his first Boston College team to the 1997 Frozen Four, the Eagles have amassed the most victories in college hockey. Boston College has amassed 458 victories and is only one of three programs to have recorded more than 400 victories during that span. Michigan (456) and North Dakota (453) trail by a slim margin.
Upon completion of the 2013-14 season, Boston College reclaimed the best overall winning percentage in Hockey East history. Over the course of 30 seasons in league play, the Eagles’ winning percentage of .627 (444-249-73) reigns supreme in one of college hockey’s top conferences.
Jerry York’s overall record is 968-582-102 in 42 seasons as a head coach at Clarkson, Bowling Green and Boston College; he owns the most victories of any Division I coach in the history of college hockey. York is 34-11 in NCAA Tournament games as the head coach at Boston College; his 39 wins overall in the NCAA Tournament is also the highest total in Division I history.

Phil ’82 and Kim Schiller have long loved Boston College Hockey. In 2012, they chose to endow the head men’s ice hockey coach position, currently held by Jerry York. The $5M commitment permanently attached the Schiller Family to a position and a leader they feel is so important to BC. Admiring the standards off the ice as much as on, Phil cited his respect and enjoyment in watching Jerry York run the program. In recognition of Jerry’s accomplishments and to ensure that the future of BC remains strong for years to come, the Schillers decided to permanently etch their legacy with BC Hockey.
