Congrats to head coach Mike Sullivan, Nick Bonino and video coach Andy Saucier on successfully defending their Stanley Cup title! #ProudToBU pic.twitter.com/GzWAbYsPSm— BU Men's Hockey (@TerrierHockey) June 12, 2017
With
the Penguins' 2-0 win against Nashville in game six to clinch a repeat as
Stanley Cup champions, Nick Bonino joined Scott Young and Jay Pandolfo as
Terriers who played on two title teams, and Head Coach Mike Sullivan—captain of
the Terriers’ 1990 Frozen Four squad—became the first American-born coach to
lead back-to-back Cup champions.

Bonino
scored seven points (4G, 3A) in 21 post-season games and missed the final four
games of the Nashville series after breaking his tibia when blocking a shot in
game two. He scored 37 points (18G, 19A) during the 2016-17 regular season.

Sullivan,
who was promoted to Penguins’ head coach in December 2015 and led the team to
its fourth Stanley Cup last June, had previously been head coach of the Bruins from
2003 to 2006.
A
third Terrier in the Penguins employ is Andy Saucier, the team’s
video coach, who was the Terrier hockey video coordinator during his
undergraduate years on Comm. Ave. Saucier is the grandson of legendary BU head
coach Jack Kelley who guided the Terriers to their first two NCAA titles in
1971 and 1972.

Colin
Wilson, now in his eighth season with the Predators, had four points in 14
playoff games, missing eight post-season games due to an injury. Wilson (35
regular-season points) and Bonino were classmates at BU and were the two top
scorers (Wilson 55, Bonino 50) on BU’s 2009
national championship team.
