Boston College should have alumnus Jerry York (BC'67) at
its men's hockey helm until at least through the 2021-22 season.
York signed a multi-year extension this week to remain as
head coach of the Eagles for the next three seasons, according to multiple
sources. The all-time winningest coach in college hockey history, he boasts a 1063-642-120
overall record in 47 NCAA campaigns with Clarkson, Bowling Green, and BC. Now
in his 25th year at the Heights, he holds a 586-293-83 mark at his alma mater.
A native of Watertown, Mass., York, 73, played at Boston
College High School before skating three NCAA seasons at BC, where he notched
64 goals and 134 points in 81 games as a forward over his three-year career
from 1964 to 1967. He also helped the Eagles to the 1965 Eastern College
Athletic Conference tournament title and a national runner-up finish as a
freshman.
After serving as a graduate assistant at BC for two years,
beginning in 1968, he spent two years as an assistant coach at Clarkson before
taking the top job with the Golden Knights for the next seven seasons. He succeeded
fellow BC alumnus Len Ceglarski, and later manned Clarkson to the 1977 ECAC
regular-season crown.
York transitioned to BGSU in 1979 and remained in Ohio for
15 seasons, leading the Falcons to five combined Central Collegiate Hockey
Association regular-season/playoff titles and six NCAA Tournament berths,
including the 1984 NCAA Division I title. He came home to BC in 1994-95 and has
since guided the Eagles to 17 NCAA Tournaments, 12 NCAA Frozen Fours, 10 Hockey
East Association regular-season titles, nine Hockey East playoff championships,
and four NCAA titles (2001, 2018, 2010, 2012).
BC is currently 10-14-3 overall (9-4-3 Hockey East) on
the 2018-19 season, including a 4-2 loss to Northeastern in Monday night's
Beanpot Tournament championship game at TD Garden.
