Episode 19 of Inside
BU Hockey features Bernie Corbett’s interviews with Head Coach David Quinn,
Senior Co-Captain Garrett Noonan and former Terrier standout forward and NHL
player and coach Joe Sacco. Noonan recently scored his 30th career goal, making him the first BU blueliners to do so since Vic Stanfield in the mid-1970s.
Sacco was a 128 point scorer (63G,
65A) in three varsity seasons. As a junior in 1989-90, his 28 goals were tops
on a BU squad that put on a stirring post-season run to reach the NCAA Final
Four. During the Hockey East
best-of-three quarterfinals against Northeaster, with BU facing elimination,
Sacco scored all five goals in a 5-2 win followed the next night with a
clinching win against the Huskies. After BU, the Medford, Mass., native spent 12 seasons
in the NHL, scoring 94 goals and 119 assists, before beginning a coaching
career. After season seasons in the AHL, he took the reins of the Colorado
Avalanche for four seasons and now is an assistant in Buffalo.
Looking ahead
2016 recruit Clayton Keller, a
sophomore on Shattuck St. Mary’s prep, enjoyed another solid weekend for the
Sabres. In SSM’s 5-3
win against Culver Academy, Keller an even-strength goal and a short-hander,
while 2014 recruit Chase Phelps tallied an assist.
Looking back
Former Terrier All-American and Hobey
Baker finalist John Curry has been called up to the Minnesota Wild from AHL
Iowa. The Sherwood, Minn., native had recorded a 2.08 GAA and .935 save percentage
in 14 AHL games. Curry had previously
played four NHL games for Pittsburgh.
BCDwire.com offers a well-written
profile of former BU defenseman David Warsofsky who is back in Providence
awaiting his next call-up to the Bruins.
Women’s Team
Sophomore Sarah Lefort, who leads
Division 1 with 29 goals, was named one of ten finalists for the Patty Kazmaier
Memorial Award, women’s hockey’s version of the Hobey Baker Award. The Quebec
native is the first Terrier to be named a finalist and is the only Hockey East
player in the group. Hockey East’s Player of the Month in December, she is tied
for the conference lead in game-winning goals (4) and plus/minus (+21). Her
next goal would make Lefort the second Terriers to score 30 goals in a season.
