After 40 years of coaching BU’s men’s hockey team to three national championships, 21 Beanpot titles, and nearly 900 wins, Jack Parker decided the 2012-2013 season was his last. Coach Parker’s number 6 was retired during the first intermission of BU’s game against Northeastern on Friday night.

Miraculously, BU beat Northeastern 4-1. It’s been a tough season with a disappointing record of 9-20-4. Student support has dwindled since the start—barely a sound can be heard from Section 108 (don’t worry, you can join us in Section 118 to partake in the ever-amusing Dog Pound chants). That said, this game was not one to be missed. The game was full of energy and outstanding plays: two Terrier goals scored 25 seconds apart, an empty-netter, and plenty of penalties (in true BU fashion). Below are some of the shots from Friday night.
