1970-71 Flashback: Feb. 3, 1971 BU 5 Yale 1
Terriers traveled to Ingalls Rink in New Haven—the Yale Whale—and handed the Elis a 5-1 defeat to improve their record to 16-1-1. Following a scoreless first period, BU lit things up in the middle period with captain Steve Stirling, Bob Brown and Toot Cahoon all finding the net during a three-and-a-half minute span. Cahoon upped the score to 4-0 late in the period.
Yale finally broke through for a goal midway through the
third period before Stirling’s second of the night, assisted by Cahoon and Paul
Giandomenico. Dan Brady stopped 23 shots for his fourth win in as many starts.
Cahoon, who scored 96 points (including 44 in ‘70-‘71) and played for two national champions as a Terrier, went into coaching, initially at Lehigh, after a brief minor-league career. He joined Jack Parker’s staff in 1974 and was an assistant on three ECAC champions and the 1978 national champions. He took over the top job at D3 Norwich and after three successful seasons there followed by a year coaching in Vienna, he joined the UMass-Lowell staff as an assistant during the program’s move from D2 to D1.
Cahoon had two more stints as a Terrier assistant, including 1990-91 when BU reached the national championship game, before being named head coach at Princeton. He turned the program around, producing three consecutive winning seasons, an ECAC championship in 1998 and the Tigers’ first 20-win season the following year.
