Olympics

With a pair of assists in Team USA’s three preliminary round wins, former Terrier captain and All-American Kevin Shattenkirk leads the squad’s d-corps in scoring.

He says his best moment in hockey was winning a national championship in college. He says this even trumped making it to the NHL "because of the feeling I had with my teammates after the victory which has not been matched yet".

In his Olympic bio, the New Rochelle, N.Y., native says his best moment in hockey was winning a national championship in college. He says this even trumped making it to the NHL "because of the feeling I had with my teammates after the victory, which has not been matched yet".

This is the fourth time Shattenkirk has worn the Team USA colors. He won silver in the 2007 World U18 championships and also played in the 2009 World Junior Championships and the 2011 Men’s World Championships.

At BU he became the first junior captain in 2009 since fellow Olympian Jack O'Callahan in the 1977/78 season. He is the 24^th Terrier who skated for retired coach Jack Parker to play in the Olympic games and the 32^nd Terrier overall.

Looking back

NY Daily News columnist Mike Lupica asked 1980 Olympic goalie Jim Craig about the final ten minutes of the semi-final upset of the Soviet Union. Craig, who shared goaltending duties with current women’s team head coach Brian Durocher on BU’s 1978 national champions, replied, “What I was mostly thinking was let’s not give up a cheap goal and screw up one of the great sports stories of all time.”

Looking ahead

2015 recruit Maxim Letunov’s slick pass (he's #7 in white) set up the overtime game-winner for Youngstown as the Phantoms edged Des Moines, 4-3. The 6-3 center from Moscow who was ranked #68 in the NHL Central Scouting midterms, has 30 points (14G, 16A) in 43 games in his first USHL season. Teammate and 2014 recruit J.J. Piccinich, ranked #164 by Central Scouting, also contributed an assist, raising his scoring line to 23-20-43, also in 43 games.

Coach Brian Durocher has added another high-scoring forward to BU’s 2014 recruit class. Victoria Bach (photo) of the Mississauga Chiefs leads Ontario’s Provincial Women’s Hockey League in scoring with 34 goals and 31 assists in 32 games. The 5-5 forward from Milton, Ont, also played in Canada’s 2013 National U18 Championships, with a 2-3-5 scoring line in five games, helping Ontario Red win the gold medal. Her five points tied her with fellow 2014 Terrier recruit Rebecca Leslie, who leads the PWHL Ottawa Senators in scoring. She also played for the 2012 gold-medal winning team. Bach’s Mississauga teammate Kelly Mariani, also a member of the 2013 Ontario Red squad, will follow Victoria to BU, arriving in 2015.

Today, Bach teamed with Mariani for the game-winner in a 6-3 win against Aurora, with each of the future Terriers recording a goal and two assists. BU’s 2014 recruit class includes two members of the U.S. U18 squad, goalie Erin O’Neill and defenseman Toni Ann Miano.
