#1 Terriers begin the
second half of their season hosting defending national champion Union College.
The game, which will be broadcast nationally on NBC Sports Network and in Canada on
TSN2, marks the first-ever meeting between the schools.
BU will also
celebrate the 10th anniversary of the first game played at Agganis
Arena. On Jan. 3, 2005, BU defeated Minnesota, 2-1, with Brad Zancanaro scoring
the first goal and Travis Roy having dropped the first puck.
Terriers will be without the services of freshman Jack Eichel, who has been skating for Team USA in the World Junior Championships. However, the line-up will be bolstered by the return of 2013-14 leading scorer Robbie Baillargeon (photo) and freshman Nikolas Olsson.
Union brings a 10-7-1
record into the game, but has won three of its last four outings. On offense,
the Dutchmen are led by three veterans of the national championship team,
Mike Vecchione (24 points), Daniel Ciampini (23) and Jeff Taylor (20).
Colin Stevens has a 2.24 GAA.

of Inside BU Hockey features Bernie Corbett’s interviews with Coach David
Quinn, freshman blueliner Brandon Hickey and former Terrier goalie and current
Union College assistant Jason Tapp. Hickey, a third round draft choice of
Calgary in last spring’s NHL draft following a standout season with AJHL Spruce
Grove, is the leading scorer among BU blueliners with nine points. Tapp spent
four seasons as a BU netminder before embarking on a long minor-league career.
He joined the Dutchman staff in 2009 and was instrumental in developing goalies
Troy Grosenick and Colin Stevens as Union emerged as a national power.
