Terrier Head Coach Jack Parker was presented with the 2012 Good Guy Award by the Ace Bailey Foundation last night at a dinner in Boston emceed by Bernie Corbett, the voice of Terrier Hockey.The Ace Bailey Good Guy Award was established in 2006 and is presented annually to individuals who have supported and advanced the game of hockey, whether on the professional, school or youth level, and who are regarded to be truly “Good Guys.”
Bailey, who played eleven NHL seasons and won the Stanley Cup twice as a Boston Bruin, was killed on September 11, 2001, while aboard a hijacked plane that crashed into the World Trade Center. Former Terrier Mark Bavis, who like Bailey was an Los Angeles Kings scout, also died in that crash.
Previous recipients of the Good Guy Award include former BU captain Peter Marshall, former Bruins standout Johnny Bucyk, former Harvard Coach Bill Cleary and BC Coach Jerry York.
