Former Terriers forward and 1995 NCAA champion Jay Pandolfo is the new men's ice hockey head coach at Boston University.
Pandolfo, 47, who served last season as an associate head coach with his alma mater, succeeds Albie O'Connell, who was not retained by BU after four seasons at the helm.
Pandolfo began his coaching career in 2014 the NHL's Boston Bruins, where he remained for eight seasons in various roles before returning to BU last year. He was also a part of Boston's 2019 Eastern Conference championship squad.
A native of Winchester, Mass., Pandolfo was a junior on BU's 1995 national title team that also won the Hockey East championship. As a senior in 1995-96, he scored a career-high 38 goals, earning him First Team All-America accolades, and finished his four year-career with 79 goals and 90 assists for 169 points.
Drafted 32nd overall by the New Jersey Devils in 1993, Pandolfo went on to play in 15 NHL campaigns with the Devils, New York Islanders, and Bruins before retiring in 2013. He finished with 100-126—226 points in 899 NHL regular-season outings, and added 11-22—33 points in 131 Stanley Cup Playoff contests, while winning the Cup with New Jersey in both 2000 and 2003.
