Head Coach Albie O’Connell has been suspended one game by
Hockey East, resulting from behavior following Saturday night’s BU loss to UMass.
He will not be available for Friday night’s home game against Vermont and will
return the next night. Associate Head Coach Paul Pearl is expected to lead the
team on Friday.
In a statement, O’Connell said: “My postgame conduct on Saturday was regrettable and I will learn from this mistake. I respect the decision of Commissioner Bertagna and I am certainly apologetic for my actions.”
College Hockey News reported via a source that the conduct involved a “hostile interaction with a UMass staffer,” following the post-game press conference.

Eleven games into his sophomore season, Matt Quercia has become
an important part of the Terrier offense. With four goals and four assists in
eleven games, he’s been a pleasant surprise after registering just two points
last season. The 6’3” forward from Andover, who has also contributed in the
faceoff circle with a team-best .550 percentage on 60 draws, talked with New
England Hockey Journal’s Jeff Cox about the summer work that has led to
success. Quercia explained:
“Over the summer, I focused on shooting it more and working on my shot. I wanted to find different ways to put the puck in the net. I’ve always had the size and physicality, but I definitely want to start scoring more.”
