When the horn sounded ending Saturday’s game, senior John Copeland scooped up the puck and delivered it to Captain Dom Fensore for a locker room presentation to Head Coach Jay Pandolfo.

The Blackhawks give their Player of the Game a “championship belt” and the Rangers award theirs with the “Broadway Hat.” The Terriers’ version is a varsity jacket, earned on Saturday night by freshman Ryan Greene with two goals and an assist.  

Then, today, the Paradise, Newfoundland, native became the first Terrier to win a weekly award this season. A Blackhawks draft pick, he's also the first BU freshman to score twice in an opening game since Patrick Harper in 2016.

Freshman Quinn Hutson has a two-game scoring streak at Agganis Arena. He scored the game-winner in last season’s USNTDP U18 win against the Terriers. And he was the first to find the net in Saturday’s victory.
