It’s tough to pick a best moment in the illustrious career of Jerry York, but if you had to pick one, it’s this - the 2001 national championship, an overtime winner against North Dakota, snapping the Eagles’ 52-year title drought.
Rarely are sports stories as storybook as BC hockey’s run from Jerry York’s first season in 1994 through to the 2001 title.
York was brought in with a clear directive - not only to restore BC to the top of the hockey mountain after an unacceptably long time, but also to chase down the behemoth across town at Boston University, who dominated Boston hockey for decades and left even very talented BC teams in the dust.
