Looking back

The Utica Observer-Dispatch’s Ice Chips and Diamond Dust blog presented a two-parter on former BU All-American defenseman, co-captain of the 1978 national championship team, and 1980 Olympic gold medalist Jack O’Callahan. 1, 2.

Former All-American defenseman, co-captain of the 2009 national championship team and 2009 Hobey Baker Award winner Matt Gilroy registered his second two-goal game of the season as AHL Connecticut Whale outscored Bridgeport, 7-5.

Former co-captain John McCarthy scored the first goal and assisted on the game-winner as AHL Worcester edged Manchester, 4-3.

A four-dog night? Former assistant captain Justin Courtnall, who began the season with ECHL South Carolina, has been called up to the Providence Bruins, where he’ll join ex-Terriers Chris Bourque, Colby Cohen and David Warsofsky.

Women’s Team

No games for the Terriers this weekend, but they’ll be preparing for Monday’s exhibition game vs. the Russian National Team.
