A half-century
rivalry
This
Saturday night at Walter Brown Arena, BU Head Coach Jack Parker will join BC Head Coach Jerry York to present the MVP
Award when their high school alma maters—Catholic Memorial (Parker) and BC High
(York)—mark
the 50th year of the two schools' hockey rivalry. The milestone game
also marks a half century of the rivalry between college hockey’s two
winningest active coaches.
When
the puck dropped for the teams’ first confrontation—on New Year’s Eve of
1962—Parker was CM’s first-line center and York was BCH’s first-line left wing.
The CM Knights earned a decisive win that evening, 7-3, with Parker and York
each registering a pair of goals. The two continued to be on-ice opponents at
opposite ends of Commonwealth Avenue, followed by four decades behind the benches as rival coaches,
while becoming college hockey icons: Parker at BU and York at Clarkson, Bowling Green and
BC.
