ESPN hockey analyst John Buccigross, a youth hockey advocate who also coaches his son’s pee wee team, talked about recent changes to U.S. hockey programs at the earliest levels, with former Terrier forward and assistant coach Kenny Rausch, now USA Hockey’s manager of youth hockey.
Rausch, a walk-on speedster who became a fan favorite and an important cog on three Terrier Frozen Four teams—including the ’95 NCAA champs, had been an assistant coach at BU, Niagara and Lowell, before joining USA Hockey. At BU, he played both forward and defense. In his senior season, he scored the game-winning overtime goal against Minnesota in the Mariucci Classic, earned MVP honors in the final Beanpot Tournament played at the old Boston Garden and was named a Hockey East Distinguished Scholar.
Defensemen David Warsofsky and Garrett Noonan made the list of top performers in the last Hockey East Weekly release which includes national and conference individual and team statistics.
USCHO’s Hockey East Blog analyzed the up-and-down season of BU’s next opponent, arch-rival Boston College, who despite four conference losses, is tied with the Terriers for first place in Hockey East.
