Fifth-year player Logan Cockerill is wearing the captain’s C for a second season, becoming just the third Terrier in the program’s 100 years with that distinction, joining BU Hall of Famer Jack O’Callahan (1977-78 & 1978-79) and Paul Bergholtz (1929-30 & 1930-31). The Brighton, Mich., native who won a silver medal with Team USA in the 2019 World Junior Championships, answers our questions in our annual Captain’s Q&A.
Q. As a 5th year player, you’ve taken advantage of the NCAA’s granting an extra year of eligibility following the Covid-shortened season. What were the factors that led to your decision to return?
A. One of the main factors was just the fact that we are returning a lot of great players and have the potential to be a very good team this year. Also, not being able to play in the Beanpot and having a sort of strange year last year pulled me back as well. On top of that being able to participate in BU’s 100th season was too good to turn down.
A. It was great being the captain of this team last year and being able to represent our program as Captain again in a year like this is an honor.
Q. While things are much closer to normal this season, there still remain special protocols to be observed for the entire BU community. What unique challenges do they present for you and the leadership group and how did last season’s experience help prepare the team?
A. I don’t look at the situation as posing too many challenges for us. At this point we are relatively used to the policies and it has become somewhat the norm for us. But as you mentioned having that experience from last year helps a lot.

Charlie Coyle scored a goal and added an assist, while Charlie McAvoy provided a helper in the Bruins 4-3 OT loss to Washington last night

Women’s Team
Julia Nearis’s slick toe drag and snipe in BU’s 5-0 shutout win against New Hampshire earned a spot on Hockey East’s Plays of the Week video. The junior wing has scored in each of the Terriers’ opening weekend wins.
Coach Brian Durocher joined the team’s Class of 2020 seniors for their long-delayed commencement at Agganis Arena on Sunday.
