► Thirty-nine years ago tonight (1970), the Terriers staged a dramatic third-period comeback, rallying from a 4-2 deficit to beat BC, 5-4 and win its fifth Beanpot title. Wayne Gowing, BU’s top defensive forward, scored three final-period goal, while Mike Hyndman, a forward-turned-defenseman, was named tournament MVP. Tim Regan was in goal for BU. Gowing later became the longtime head coach of Wilfrid Laurier University and today is hockey convenor of the Ontario University Athletics conference.
