This Date in Terrier Hockey--March 17


2018: Behind a sparkling 30-save shutout by Jake Oettinger and Drew Melanson’s game-winning third-period goal, #18 BU blanked #9 Providence, 2-0, to claim its ninth Hockey East Championship and punch its ticket to the NCAA tournament. Melanson broke a scoreless tie, just a minute into the third period and Bobo Carpenter sealed the victory with an empty-netter. It was the second conference title for Head Coach David Quinn. Oettinger, earned tournament MVP honors, had a .945 saves percentage in four HE playoff games. He was joined on the all-tournament team by Jordan Greenway and Chad Krys. BU has won nine of its 12 championship game appearances.

1990: After dropping the opening game of its best-of-three NCAA quarterfinal series with North Dakota, BU rebounded for a 5-3 win in game 2. The Fighting Sioux scored the only first period goal, but the Terriers took control in the middle period on goals by Shawn McEachern, Joe Sacco and Alex Legault. Tony Amonte and Mark Bavis added third-period tallies. Scott Cashman had 26 saves for BU.

1950: Boston University, playing in its first Frozen Four, defeated Michigan, 4-3, at the Broadmoor Ice Palace in Colorado Springs. Michigan took a 2-0 lead after the first period, but the Terriers controlled the second period as Dick Kelley scored twice while Jack Garrity and William Jurgelevich each scored once. The Wolverines added a goal in the third, but that was as close as they got as BU goalie Ralph "Ike" Bevins made 34 saves for the win. That season, Bevins, Garrity, and Walt Anderson became BU’s first All-Americans
