The 45th annual Friends of Hockey Banquet was held last evening at the George Sherman Union. It was a pleasant evening weather wise and the turnout was a very nice one. In addition to the salute to the team members and departing seniors, there was a video presentation of hockey highlights of the past season..
A number of former Terriers who are now part of the Friends of BU Hockey Board were present including Chairman Paul Giandomenico, Dennis O'Connell, Brian Collins, and Mike Sylvia.
Tim Regan, the MVP of the 1972 NCAA tournament, yielding just one goal in Final Four and shutting out Cornell in the championship game [Recap from Sports Illustrated Vault] and a BU Hall of Famer, attended along with his wife.
The year end awards were presented as follows:
Ed Carpenter Award (Team Leading Scorer): Peter MacArthur
Clifford P. Fitzgerald Scholarship ( Junior/Senior Defenseman): Brian Strait
Regina Eilberg Scholarship (Excellence in Academics/Athletics): John McCarthy
Bennett McInnis Spirit Award: Craig Sanders (Second Consecutive year)
Most Improved Player: Bryan Ewing
Friends/Albert Sidd Unsung Hero Award: Ryan Weston (absent as he is in AHL playoffs)
George V. Brown Award /MVP: Peter MacArthur
Team Captains were announced for 2008-2009: Co-Captains: Matt Gilroy and John McCarthy

BU will open next season by hosting the Icebreaker Tournament at Agganis Arena, featuring North Dakota, Michigan State, and UMass
An enjoyable evening for all I would say.
