The Beanpot and the Baker: A LOOK BACK by Tom Burke They’re two of the oldest and most revered trophies in all of college hockey. Boston’s Beanpot, and the nation’s Hobey Baker. One’s for an individual. The Hobey Baker Award was established a mere 36 seasons ago by the Decathlon Club of Minneapolis. Its purpose: to recognize the best player in American College hockey. One’s for a team. Long before the Baker – thirty years before, and 65 seasons ago, came the Beanpot. It started as a mere invitational tournament, a way for the Boston Arena to rake in a few more bucks right after Christmas. By now, though, its purpose is to crown the college hockey champion of Boston. It doesn’t matter what else may ensue in playoff games beyond the second Monday of February. If your team is Beanpot champion, you play for Boston’s best. The four schools of the Beanpot comprise roughly seven percent of the 60 institutions playing division one hockey. But Beanpot veterans have taken home the Hobey ten times since Neal Broten of Minnesota received the inaugural Baker in 1981. That’s 28 percent, or just shy of one-third of the Hobey Baker Award winners. When Harvard’s Jimmy Vesey stepped to the podium to accept the 2016 Hobey last April in Tampa, he completed a Beanpot-schools trifecta. The previous year, BU’s Jack Eichel won it. The year before that, it was Johnny Gaudreau of BC. One Hobey winner from each institution has also been crowned MVP of the Beanpot. But only Harvard’s Lane MacDonald earned both honors in the same season. That was in 1989, his senior year, in which Harvard also brought home the NCAA title. Both Gaudreau and BU’s Chris Drury were Beanpot MVPs two seasons before they were Hobey Baker winners. Of the ten Hobey Baker Awards garnered by Beanpot teams thus far, Harvard has earned four while BU and BC each have taken home three. Harvard men were the East’s first three Hobey Baker awardees: Mark Fusco in 1983; his brother Scott in 1986; and MacDonald in 1989. In the decade of the 1990s, the only Beanpotters to win the Hobey were David Emma of Boston College (1991) and Chris Drury of BU (1998). Mike Mottau of BC opened the new millennium by taking the Hobey in 2000, and Matt Gilroy of BU copped it in 2009, the last year that the Terriers were NCAA champions. One Hobey winner from each Beanpot school – MacDonald, Gilroy, and Gaudreau has hoisted the NCAA Championship Trophy in his year of the Hobey. Every Hobey Baker

Hobart Amory Hare “Hobey” Baker (Jan. 15, 1892 – Dec. 21, 1918) winner except Eichel has also won the Walter Brown Award as New England’s best American-born player. Jack played only one year at BU, and he was edged in the voting for the Brown Award by Vesey. Mark Fusco’s Hobey Baker win, announced at the NCAA Froze Four in Grand Forks, North Dakota, was a truly shocking turn of events – at least to many members of the college hockey media who thought that the game didn’t exist east of the Mississippi. Hockey East commissioner Joe Bertagna, who was working for Harvard at the time, was in the hotel conference room for the ceremony. He recounted, in a 2002 USCHO article, that at the words “Mark Fusco of Harvard,” all of the Western writers got up and left the room in disbelief. Full disclosure – now it may be told. The author of this article was a member of the 1983 Hobey Baker Award Selection committee. He submitted his vote, via Western Union telegram, for Mark Fusco. As a journalist covering the East for the Hockey News, he drew his own little measure of satisfaction from his western brethren’s consternation that year. Mark was the first Easterner as well as the first defenseman to win the Baker Award. Apart from members of Beanpot teams, only three other Hobey Baker winners – Jason Krog of UNH and Scott Pellerin and Paul Kariya from Maine – played their college hockey in the East. So much for recent history, the history that still remains in living memory. And while they’ve not quite established a dynasty, the teams that play in the Beanpot do enjoy a healthy share of Hobey Baker glory. Perhaps it’s also fitting that Harvard holds a slight edge in the Hobey Baker winners’ column. That’s because, long ago, Harvard men were the only ones who consistently enjoyed any measure of success in competition with the legend himself, Hobart Amory Hare Baker.
We now turn to the story of the Hobey Baker and Boston, as told by former ECAC Hockey Commissioner Steve Hardy. Now a professor at the University of New Hampshire, Hardy introduces us to Baker and connection to Boston in his fine work, “Long Before Orr,” a chapter in “The Rock, the Curse, and The Hub: A Random History of Boston Sports.” Hobey, a Princeton lad, played many games right in the same place where the Beanpot was born – in the Boston Arena on Saint Botolph Street. The original Arena, built in 1910, had seating capacity for 4,000 fans. The building was, in the glowing prose of Boston Herald writer Fred Hoey, the place where ”the hope and ambition of every Greater Boston hockey player was realized…outdoor hockey hardships were at an end. It was a gift from heaven.” The Arena’s opening meant that Harvard’s hockey team no longer had to travel to New York to play what were then known as “Big Three” games against Yale or Princeton. Those teams could now come to Boston and play before ever-growing crowds of newlyminted ice hockey fans. And the man for whom they turned out by the thousands was Boston hockey’s first superstar, Hobey Baker. Baker was born in 1892, in the middle of America’s Gilded Age, to an upper-crust Philadelphia family. He learned how to play ice hockey at Saint Paul’s School in Concord,
New Hampshire. There was no forward passing allowed in those early days. Skating and stickhandling were the keys to hockey success, and Baker was unequalled in both. Fans and promoters of the day eagerly sought out home grown talent to compete with the more experienced and skilled Canadian professionals and amateurs. They found their first American hockey hero in Hobey Baker, described by the Herald after his sophomore year at Princeton as “without a doubt, the best all-around player ever developed on this side of the border.” According to Steve Hardy’s account, Baker played dozens of games at the old Arena, first for Princeton and then as a member of the St. Nicholas Hockey Club of New York. With long blond hair streaming behind him and the puck glued to his flashing stick, he was hockey’s original Golden Jet. In 1913, Baker ”hypnotized” a team from the Boston Athletic Association, which was to become the original feeder for the earliest U.S. Olympic ice hockey teams. The account of that game stated, “the crowd went to the rink to see Baker. No player in the country has been so well advertised, and no player has come through with more bells on.” And there was one other thing about Mr. Baker. He was sportsmanlike and modest, nearly to a fault. He always made his way to the opposing team’s dressing room

to shake hands after the game. Perhaps the best description of Hobey Baker, worth a digression and a repeat here, was by the erudite Boston Globe columnist George Frazier, who wrote in 1962, “Always at college hockey games I am haunted by the redolent remembrance of Hobey Baker…as he was in the sinew and swiftness of his youth, in the nocturnes of halfa-century ago at the sanctified second when he would take the puck from behind his own net and, as the crowd rose to its feet screaming ‘Here he comes!’ he would start up the ice like some winged messenger of mythology, as fleet and godlike as any of them, his bright birthright a blazing blur, and for a lovely little while God would be in His Heaven and the puck, more than likely, in the other team’s net.” Canadian hockey mavens admired Baker as well. After St. Nick’s played a game against the amateur Montreal Stars, the Montreal Press wrote, “Uncle Sam has had the cheek to develop a first‑class hockey player. We had always smiled a cynical grin at the thought. A few minutes of Baker on the ice convinced the most skeptical. The blond haired boy was a favorite with the crowd.” Baker averaged nearly four goals per game during his career. Most teams of that era did not score that much. But while adoring fans came to watch and witness Hobey’s
artistry, opposing teams knew that they had to figure out a way to stop him. In other words, they needed to apply “science” to the game, to develop strategies and tactics that would somehow offset Hobey Baker’s superior skills. The man who succeeded in doing so was a Harvard man, Alfred “Ralph” Winsor. He had played hockey at Harvard, then coached the Crimson at the same time he played for and coached the BAA’s team, the Unicorns. Winsor, in true Belichickian fashion, revamped the alignment and assignments of his teams’ defensive players and took away the conditions that had previously made them easy pickings for Hobey and his teammates. Defensive players usually lined up one behind the other and close to the goal tender. The first one would step up and attempt to stop onrushing attackers. If he missed, then the second defender was all alone and vulnerable to a second dodge, deke, or short lateral pass to the stickhandler’s linemate. Baker seldom had difficulty when he wove past one defenseman, then the second, for a shot on goal. Winsor countered by aligning his defenders side-by-side, thereby cutting down any attacking player’s room to swing out wide. He also installed a disciplined backchecking system to take away the lateral passing game.
Harvard has won the second-most Hobey Baker awards in the honor’s history: All four Crimson are pictured here (left to right): Lane MacDonald (1989) • Jimmy Vesey (2016) • Scott Fusco (1986) • Mark Fusco (1983)

Winsor’s system was more effective against Baker and Princeton than any yet devised. Harvard went 2-2 against the Tigers during Baker’s first two years. Perhaps the most memorable of those games was played before a SRO crown of 5,000 at the Arena. Harvard won, 2-1, after 33 minutes and 40 seconds of overtime on a goal by Leverett Saltonstall, who later served as a U.S. senator. In that game, Winsor’s team did not forecheck Baker. Rather, as newspaper accounts described, they “allowed him to gather speed and back up to their own goal until they reached a position where they could close in on him.” The “Winsor system” worked in that epic tilt, and two years later a Boston amateur team used it again to stymie Baker and St Nick’s in another game at the Arena. Hardy concludes by noting, “In Boston, at least, the ‘Winsor system’ had checked the irrepressible Hobey Baker.” Hobey Baker hung up his skates after 1916 and went off to serve his country in World War I. He became a fighter pilot with the Lafayette Escadrille and was one the first American flyers sent to France. He was credited with shooting down three German planes and earned France’s Croix de Guerre medal for “exceptional valor under fire.” Baker died, tragically, at age 26. The war had ended and he was set to go home, but he decided to take one last flight in his old plane. The engine failed, and he perished in a crash landing.
Hobey Baker was a natural for charter membership in the United States Hockey Hall of Fame. His name’s association with college hockey’s top national honor is fitting, and all those who earn that honor can feel a just pride in having their names forever linked with his. But it must work the other way as well – especially when a Boston-based college player is named the Hobey Baker Award winner. In all walks of life, we remember most fondly and most gratefully those who made it difficult for us in our youthful days. The disciplinarian parent, the demanding teacher, the no-nonsense mentor – and the sporting opponent who made us work the hardest, who brought out the best in us. For Hobey Baker, those hockey opponents were those he faced in Boston and on the ice at the birthplace of the Beanpot Tournament. From where he now sits, he must smile in appreciation every time his name is linked with a Beanpot-team star. It’s an honor for Hobey as well.

WADE LAU: 2017 BEANPOT HALL OF FAMER by Bernie Corbett Growing up in the state of hockey, Minnesota and matriculating in its hub, Boston – 2017 Beanpot Hall of Fame inductee, former Harvard goalie Wade Lau developed a deep passion for both the game and the position he began playing at age six. “I was a terrible skater. The squirt team needed a second goalie. So they said if you want to play on the team you can play goalie. I said oh sure what the heck, ‘I’ll play why not?” “I sort of defaulted to it. But, then I took to it. Obviously, I was pretty good at it. I’ve always been in life fairly calm and reserved. That was how I played back there. Sort of one way or the other dealt with the ups and downs that comes with being a goalie,” Lau recalled recently. His even tempered approach would serve him well at every step along his personal net minding journey. Beginning with games almost exclusively contested outdoors as a youth, Wade, progressed and became an All-State performer for Johnson High School, the alma mater of 1980 Olympic Gold Medal coach Herb Brooks, in his hometown of East St. Paul. The Governors were fittingly the first of the city schools in the Gopher state to compete against the dynastic programs that descended from the Iron Range for the annual Minnesota State High School tournaments. From the heartbreak of back-to-back losses in the sectional finals, including a double overtime defeat as a senior in his final game. Lau’s future began to take shape. “There were all sorts of folks focused on Minnesota kids,” said Lau in reference to WCHA college recruiters. “I happened to be one that was a good enough student that the Ivy Leagues could talk to me. It was never in my mind, going to an Ivy League school. The east side of St. Paul is very blue collar. All of a sudden it popped up and it all seemed to work out.” In addition to Harvard, Cornell, the school that legendary All-American goalie Ken Dryden had led to a National Championship before Stanley Cup glory with the Montreal Canadiens came a calling with Dryden himself dialing up the young net minder. The future Hall of Famer was the goalie that Lau in fact modeled himself after. “I had to sort through things and of course you know Coach Cleary, he’s a heck of a salesman.” Cleary beat Dryden top shelf in this showdown. Next stop Cambridge. Not before spending some of his summer vacation with the seminal figure in the coaching of his chosen position.

Lau became an instant celebrity on the Harvard campus--recognized even at a local pizza parlor as “the guy who won the Beanpot.” ”Warren Strelow was a great goaltending mind. He’s actually a Johnson grad. He’s about twenty years older than me. Ultimately became the Gopher goalie coach, the Olympic goalie coach, and then was a goalie coach for a number of the pro teams. I went to his camps in the summer. So if there was a guy who helped me develop, it was Strelow. He was certainly the guy that taught me to play the position. He really was one of the first guys to develop goaltenders. I was lucky there,” Lau remembered. As a freshman, Wade became a member of the nomadic group of Crimson skaters, as aging Watson Rink was in the process of being transformed into the Bright Hockey Center. A difficult situation to say the least. When combined with the youth of the team overall it is no surprise that Wade’s first two seasons 1978-79 (7-18-1) and 1979-80 (8-15-3) were the worst for Harvard’s sextet since World War II. “I think I’ve done a pretty good job of mastering the art of being mentally ready. I don’t let a lot of things affect me too much,” Wade told The Crimson, his senior year. Team manager David Jones observed him as ever a calming influence on the team, unflappable win or lose. “He’ll say, ‘Be careful, we still have two periods to go’ – he’s realistic” Lau always possessed an uncanny knack for remembering every goal ever scored on him and the related circumstances from an analytical unemotional perspective. A cerebral approach to puck stopping that served him well.
During those first two seasons Lau split playing time with the incumbent upperclassmen, John Hynes, who had succeeded All-American Brian Petrovek, the keeper that had led Harvard to its last Beanpot title. As far as Lau’s personal February Gah-den party patience would have to be a virtue. Wade had first heard of the venerable tournament while being recruited by Harvard Coach Bill Cleary, in the context of the Blizzard of ’78 and the subsequent postponement that resulted. Coming out of Harvard’s annual extended January exam break in 1979 Lau was scheduled to play in the ‘Pot but had his debut postponed, a partially torn MCL ending his season abruptly. At long last, the opening night of the 1980 tournament placed Lau between the pipes on Causeway Street guarding the Harvard goal. The young Crimson squad, a big underdog that night stormed out of the gate and raced to a 3-0 lead over Boston College. The favored Eagles showed both resiliency and urgency in their game and proceeded to score the next and last four goals of the match. Minnesotan Gary Sampson notching the game winner in the third period. “It was a good game, a fast paced game, the better team won,” Lau remembered. The Eagles went on to lose the title game for a second consecutive year. This time to Northeastern’s 28 year drought ending dogs.
It appeared that Crimson’s fortunes were finally turning at the beginning of Lau’s junior season. In fact the Cambridgians commenced the 1980-81 campaign by winning four of their first six. And then Lau and the Good Ship Crimson ran aground. “I had come into the season, felt great. I was playing well and then really went into a slump,” said Lau. Harvard dropped nine of ten prior to the Beanpot’s renewal but had showed progress in their most recent outings particularly a 3-2 loss to a Clarkson club that was loaded with elite talent. First round opponent, Northeastern, the defending tournament champions for the first time ever had rode the momentum from their previous February exorcism to the best start in school history with an amazing 12 straight wins to begin their season. A pair of pre Beanpot losses to Cornell and Boston College didn’t alter the perception of NU being a prohibitive favorite over their Crimson rivals. Oh, and there was the previous meeting between the two teams. In a late November game at Bright Center Lau had “one of those nights” that all goalies have at one time in their career. The final: NU 11 Harvard 5. “It was no fun. I remember they scored six goals in the third period. It was very early in the season. We were very young. Up to that point we had a lot of confidence. I just struggled to make saves. Getting over that one was hard. It was one of those nights you couldn’t do anything right. In goal that’s not a good spot to be,” said Lau.
In Lau’s senior year, Harvard returned to the ECAC playoffs, advanced to the league championship game and qualified for the NCAA tournament for the first time in seven years.

Lau is currently the President and CEO of Founders Properties in the greater Minneapolis - St. Paul Area Approaching the rematch on the big Garden stage Lau and his teammates had expectations of playing significantly better based on their most recent performances. Surpass the margin of the previous defeat to the Huntington Hounds? If anybody felt that confident nobody articulated the sentiment. In a game that is arguably the most lopsidedly stunning in the annals of the mid-winter Beantown hockey conclave, Harvard streaked to a 4-0 lead, although remained fully clothed. NU’s Paul Filipe (his son Matt making his Beanpot debut for NU) cut the margin to 4-1 after twenty minutes. Perhaps flashing back to the 3-0 lead that disappeared in a North End minute the previous year against BC, the Crimson tallied the next five. A 9-1 lead after two, Harvard coasted to a 10-2 win. “For whatever reason, Northeastern never really snapped out of it. There was never any moment where it felt like they were grabbing anything. We just pressed them the whole night. They never really countered.” Lau recalled. The Crimson and their ever even keeled goalie had their groove back. A victory over St. Lawrence in the dreaded Beanpot sandwich game brought the Crimson to Causeway Street for the title match brimming with confidence despite their decided underdog status. There once again stood Boston College in their familiar role as favorite. From the drop of the puck, the Crimson were tight. “They had some good chances early. I was able to make a few saves,” said Lau.
12
Tested early Lau and the Crimson settled down. At the other end of the building BC’s goalie, Bob O’Connor was emulating the Maytag repairman. Similar to Lau he had no positive Beanpot memories to draw any solace. The late replacement for Doug Ellis the previous year, the former two-time Division II State Champion from Billerica High School was in goal for the Eagles historic overtime loss to Northeastern. Then at 12:41 Harvard scored on their first shot on goal. Sophomore forward Bill Larson, recently elevated to the varsity in early December converted a centering pass from Jim Turner to give the Crimson a 1-0 lead. Larson a pitcher on the Harvard baseball team also hailed from working class East St. Paul and grew up playing youth hockey and baseball with Lau. The Twin Cities connection gave Harvard all they would need to capture the ‘Pot. “From that point forward there was a giant exhale and the team felt, ok, we can do this. From that moment forward it was our game. We pressed the play the whole night. We didn’t give up a lot after the first ten twelve minutes,” Lau said. The second period was all Crimson as they outshot BC 10-2 only to have O’Connor thwart them at every turn. A late third period David Burke marker set the final score: Harvard 2 Boston College 0. “I almost got beat on a weak one. And a slap shot got by me low glove side. The angle of the shot sent it wide.” Wade recalled. His biggest problem through the final forty minutes was mainly inactivity. “We had four very good defensemen: Mark Fusco, Neal Sheehy, Alan Litchfield, and Ken Code. They all played very well,” Lau fondly remembered. The Crimson’s championship game shutout was just the third in tournament history. It wouldn’t be duplicated until BC’s Thatcher Demko shutout BU in the 2016 final. Lau completed the Beanpot double play winning both the Eberly Award and MVP trophy. He remains the last Harvard goalie to receive either honor. . It was Harvard’s eighth Beanpot overall and the first time Boston College was shut out in a Beanpot game. As Joe Concannon reported in the Boston Globe the Crimson, “took a page out of its rich hockey past, dusted it off with feeling and gave it a 1980’s revival. The revival was built to last. The Crimson’s 1981 Beanpot upset victory galvanized the Harvard program. The Crimson returned to the ECAC playoffs Wade’s senior year, advanced to the league championship game, and qualified for the NCAA tournament for the first time in seven years. For the next dozen years, Harvard was a perennial Eastern and National title contender highlighted by the 1989 National Championship. Looking back Lau fondly remembers that Monday night in February 1981 as the “spring board” that refocused the program. A graduate of Harvard Business School, Wade married his high school sweetheart shortly after graduating from Harvard. They are the parents of three surviving children, having tragically lost a child to SIDS. He is currently the President/CEO of Founder’s Properties, a commercial real estate investment management company based in the Twin Cities. When reminded recently he wistfully thought back to being paid the ultimate Harvard Square campus homage: recognition at Pinocchio’s Pizza, as “the guy who won the Beanpot.” He still had to pay for the pizza. Ever even keeled Lau is still ok with that.

Eagles Make It a Quick Re-Build by Tom Burke Over the course of his coaching career, Jerry York has been nothing if not methodical. Systems. Checklists. Grand objectives and lesser ones. And mileposts, or interim goals along the way, to gauge his team’s progress. York’s methods have served him and his Boston College teams well. Last season was a case in point: an overall record of 28-8-54, championships in the Beanpot and Hockey East regular season, and another trip to the Frozen Four. The only senior who played fulltime on that squad was defenseman Teddy Doherty. The current campaign projected as a payoff year, with virtually everybody returning. But the payoff year quickly turned into a rebuilding year. That prompted York to set out a rather unusual first objective. “We needed to see if we could compete at this level,” he remarked during the 2016 Christmas break. “I’m talking about our work ethic, our skill level. We have so many new guys, how were we going to mesh as a team? Could we go to a place like Denver and compete?” The Eagles checked off that box immediately. With one of their youngest rosters ever – five seniors, no juniors, seven sophomores, and 13 freshmen – Boston College sprinted out to a 14-7-2 record after 23 games. Their 9-1-1 league mark put them in first place in Hockey East. Despite their youth, they showed that they could compete. It’s a rebuilding year because seven star players decided to sign professional contracts rather than return to college hockey. Early departures to pro ranks have become commonplace throughout college sports, but seldom has a team had to retool as extensively and as quickly as this year’s Eagles. It was no surprise that senior-to-be goalie Thatcher Demko signed after a season in which he was co-Player of the Year in Hockey East. York and his staff planned for it. They brought in two netminders, Joe Woll and Ryan Edquist, to go along with sophomore returnee Ian Milosz. Woll has played the majority of the games and has posted a 2.43 goals-against average. Goaltending remains a BC strength. Both the forward lines and defense corps took big hits. Defensemen Steve Santini and Ian McCoshen departed after their junior campaigns along with forward Adam Gilmour. Santini was named best defensive defenseman last year in Hockey East. Sophomores Alex Tuch and Zach Sanford both went pro. Tuch gave the Eagles their 1-0 Beanpot championship game last year with an overtime goal from beyond the faceoff circle. Sanford was the third-leading scorer with 13-26-39. Freshman Miles Wood also signed after his first full season.
In all, those who left early scored 60 of Boston College’s 156 goals in 2015-016. The returnees, both full-timers and those who saw any action at all a year ago, had to step up and take on more responsibility than they’d anticipated. And many of the incoming freshmen would have to learn on the job as full-time players. As of midseason, it was a case of so far, so good. But the Eagles had yet to play most of the top contenders in the Hockey East race, which prompted York to set forth his next milestone. He stated, “We are pleasantly surprised at where we are. We’re a very competitive team. Are we a championship level team? We don’t know that yet. That’s to be determined. “We’re getting outstanding play from our senior class. If we were going to compete, we had to get scoring from Austin (Cangelosi), Ryan (Fitzgerald) and Matty (Gaudreau). And Colin White.” Ryan Fitzgerald was last season’s leading scorer at 24-23-47 for the full year. He sustained a high ankle sprain in late November and had to sit out six games. His point total was 5-12-17 as of the first week in January. White missed five games but he still led the Eagles in goals with ten. He had seven goals for Team USA in the World Junior Tournament, including the tying goal in the come-from-behind win over Canada in the Gold Medal game. White was Hockey East’s Rookie of the Year last season. Sophomore defenseman Casey Fitzgerald and freshman goalie Woll also suited up for Team USA at the World Juniors. Freshman brothers Jesper and Julius Mattila went to the World Juniors as well and played for Team Finland. Gaudreau, the younger brother of Hobey Baker winner Johnny Gaudreau, led the team in scoring after 23 games with 6-16-22. “He’s taken three steps forward this year. He’s got some his brother’s hockey sense – he’s ten pounds lighter, though,” said York. Sophomores Chris Brown and J.D. Dudek, with six and eight goals respectively through 23 games, have both elevated their games as well. Freshmen who’ve stepped in and played regularly up front include David Cotton, Julius Mattila, Zack Walker, Michael Booth, Graham McPhee, and Ron Greco. Cotton had seven goals through 23 games, including four game-winning tallies. “We didn’t expect a lot of scoring from the freshmen players. If anyone, we knew Cotton would get some goals for us. He and Graham McPhee have been our freshman leaders up front. The others were brought in as good complete players with room to grow,” explained York. Scott Savage is the only senior on the defense corps. Casey Fitzgerald and Michael Kim, both sophomores, have chipped in steadily on both ends of the ice. Kim came aboard in the second semester of last season and has made giant strides in his game, according to York. Four freshman defenders -- Jesper Mattila, Conor Moore, Luke McInnis, and Michael Campoli – all have shown that they belongl. In summing up what it’s going to take to keep the young Eagles among the East’s leading teams, York said, “We just want to look for continued improvement from everyone on the team, and to stay relatively injury free. It becomes a much more difficult league after Christmas. Now we play the iron. “

Youthful Terriers on the Upswing by Tom Burke The curtain hadn’t even come down on Boston University’s 21-13-5 season of a year ago when the hockey world was buzzing about the formidable recruiting class that fourth-year head coach David Quinn had assembled for the current campaign. And for the most part, those highly regarded rookies – six forwards, two defensemen and a goaltender, have not disappointed. The Terriers are poised for a strong second half and another run at the NCAA Tournament. After 19 games, freshmen had scored 27 of the Terriers’ 63 goals. Sophomores had bagged 25, while juniors and seniors combined for just 11. Seven of the Terriers’ underclassmen – five freshmen, two sophomores -- were picked to play in the World Junior Tournament over the holiday break. It was the most ever selected from a college team for that event. Young players lifted the Terrier team to a 12-5-2 record and a fourth-place ranking after the first week in January. But it’s not just youthful talent that’s behind BU’s improving performance. Perhaps the best insight into the gritty makeup of this year’s Terriers can be drawn from the January 5 game when those seven were playing in the final game of the World Juniors. Quinn had to jury-rig a lineup of 18 skaters that managed to dig deep and pull off a come-from-behind 5-4 overtime win over Union College. Sophomore Jakob Forsbacka -Karlsson netted a hat trick including the game winner in that matchup. He tied the game with 2:54 to play and then put home the clincher at 2:51 of the extra session. Forsbacka-Karlsson, known as JFK over in Agganis Arena, was playing on a makeshift line with classmates Ryan Cloonan and Bobo Carpenter. Junior goalie Connor Lacouvee, playing in only his fourth game of the season, stopped 35 Union shots. Quinn was ebullient after that game, remarking “We’ve got great leadership. Our junior class and our sophomore class have picked up their responsibilities. I feel good about the way we’re approaching the game, about the way we’ve been approaching practices. On his team’s prospects for the rest of the season, Quinn continued, “I know it’s coachspeak, but you need leadership, work ethic, mental toughness. I think we’re coming along and starting to show that, and tonight was a good example.” Forsbacka-Karlsson usually plays center between rookies Kieffer Bellows and Patrick Harper on BU’s first line. Harper led all BU scorers with seven goals and 15 assists for 22 points at mid-season. Forsbacka-Karlsson’s five-goal week against Union at home and UMass at Fenway Park lifted him to second in team scoring with eight goals and 12 assists.
Forsbacka-Karlsson was BU’s third- leading scorer last season with 10 goals and 20 assists. Of the Stockholm, Sweden native, Quinn remarked, “He has really elevated his game. He’s strong on the puck and responsible in all three zones. His skating is much better and quicker this year. With Patrick Harper, we knew he was going to be really good but we didn’t think he’d be leading the team in scoring at this point. He’s certainly exceeded our expectations.” Harper stands a compact 5-9 while Bellows, the line’s other wing, and ForsbackaKarlsson are both 6-1. Bellows had a pair of goals in Team USA’s championship win over Canada at the World Junior Tournament. Bellows’ father Brian played 17 years in the National Hockey League. Greenway is a massive and physical presence at 6-5 and 230 pounds at left wing on BU’s second unit, centered by freshman Clayton Keller with Carpenter on the right side. Keller and Greenway were named two of Team USA’s top three players in the World Tournament. Greenway, from St. Lawrence University country in Canton, New York, was the Terriers’ third-leading scorer at midyear. He was also no stranger to penalty box attendants around the league, leading the team in penalty minutes with 42. Two other freshman forwards, center Gabriel Chabot and winger Patrick Curry, also play regularly up front. Cloonan, junior assistant captain Nikolas Olsson, and seniors Nick Roberto and Tommy Kelley, also see a lot of action. Others who’ve gotten playing time include freshman Johnny McDermott, sophomore Oskar Andren, and junior Chase Phelps. At defense, senior captain Doyle Somerby is the heavy-duty stay-at-home guy and is usually paired with junior John MacLeod. Neither of them has the same notoriety as freshmen rearguards Dante Fabbro and Chad Krys or sophomore Charlie McAvoy. Fabbro played for Team Canada in the World Juniors while McEvoy skated for Team USA. Krys almost made the American squad as well but was the last man cut in tryouts. In assessing his defense, Quinn points out the improved play of junior Brandon Hickey, who is usually paired with Fabbro. Hickey, from LeDuc, Alberta, is especially effective at blocking shots. Fabbro, who came to BU all the way from New Westminster, British Columbia, was bothered by some strep throat infections during the first half but still was a power play regular and scored three goals. “Brandon Hickey has had a really good year for us so far, and he’s going to be a big part of our success going forward. And we’ve been getting good goaltending too,” added Quinn. Freshman Jake Oettinger, yet another Team USA pick, won the Terriers’ starting goaltender job after Sean Maguire graduated. Oettinger had three shutouts in his first 16 games and ranked fifth in the nation with a goals-against average of 1.94. He also posted three shutouts. Lacouvee is an experienced and capable backup; he started 14 games a year ago and had a 2.92 goal-against average. In January, the Terriers brought in freshman Nico Lynch as a third goalie after sophomore Max Prawdzik elected to take a semester off and play in the North American League. BU is also effective on special teams, ranking third in the country in penalty killing with a 90.2 percent kill rate.

Harvard’s Depth and Experience Make for the Nation’s Best Offensive Punch by Tom Burke “We’ve done some good things, but it’s still very early and we’ve got to get a lot better if we are going to keep winning.” That was coach Ted Donato speaking. His then fourth-ranked team had just vanquished ECAC archrival Quinnipiac behind a hat trick from freshman wing Nathan Krusko. That victory and a 4-2 conquest of Princeton the following night raised the Crimson’s record to a heady 11-2-1 and its national ranking to second. To say there have been just “some” good things during the first half is putting it mildly. Harvard’s only losses, as of press time, were on the road at Quinnipiac and Boston University. The team is well positioned to improve on last season’s 19-11-4 mark, to make its third straight appearance in the NCAA tournament, and to win its first Beanpot since 1993. The team has speed, experience and depth at all positions, especially up front. Five seniors and three juniors play on the first four forward lines. Forwards Jimmy Vesey and Kyle Criscuolo, the go-to guys for the past four seasons, have graduated. They accounted for 43 goals last year, which was 37 percent of the team’s total of 116. But maybe the attention paid to Vesey and Criscuolo over the past few years had the effect of obscuring the level of talent that Donato had built throughout the rest of the roster. That talent is emerging now. Harvard has more than compensated by building a balanced attack, with six players averaging more than a point per game. Harvard’s 4.57 goals per game was tops in the country at press time, but only senior Sean Malone had scored in double figures – ten goals – to that point. The Crimson also boast a devastating power play, the best in the country at 31% after 14 games. Alexander Kerfoot was Vesey and Criscuolo’s linemate for the past two seasons. He centers the first wave between sophomores Ryan Donato, who is coach Ted’s son, and Lewis Zerter-Gossage. The top two units see a lot of the power play duty, with freshman sensation Adam Fox playing a prominent role as one of the point men. The second line is all seniors, with Malone pivoting Luke Esposito and Tyler Moy. “Our top two lines are very dangerous, and they go into each game believing that their play is going to dictate our success,” said Coach Donato. “And [associate head coach] Paul Pearl has done an amazing job with our power play. There’s a lot of competition between the two units; if one of them gets a goal, the other one figures that they better go get one too.
Kerfoot, a co-captain along with fourth-line winger Devin Tringale, said “It was tough losing Jimmy and Kyle and the other seniors, but we knew we had a ton of skilled players coming back. We wanted to emphasize becoming a team that could roll four lines and wear the other teams down. We don’t just look to one line. We have a good core group of seniors, and we can look to more than one guy to step up. That makes us a lot more dangerous. “Seniors like Moy, Malone and Esposito are huge for us,” he continued. “They’re heavy bodies, and they can wear teams out when they’re playing down low. It’s very tiring to go up against them. Krusko and center Ty Pelton-Byce are the only freshmen to crack the forward lines regularly this season. Pelton-Byce centers the third unit between juniors Seb Lloyd and Jake Horton. Krusko, Tringale, and junior Eddie Ellis comprise a fourth unit. Defensemen Brayden Jaw and Desmond Bergin also graduated, leaving the Crimson with some holes to fill on the backline. But Fox, a recruit from the U.S. National Development Team program, made an immediate hit with his offensive prowess. He was third in team scoring with 2 goals and 17 assists through 12 games. Fox was also Harvard’s representative on the World Junior Championship squad. He tallied three assists in the World Juniors’ Gold Medal win over Canada, then arrived back at Cambridge an hour before the game the next night with Quinnipiac. He picked up two assists against the Bobcats and showed no ill effects from traveling all day. “Our two freshman defensemen, Adam and John Marino, have both been great for us so far,” said Donato. “We knew that Fox would have an impact. He’s very talented and he’d make the others around him play much better as well.” Fox, a right defenseman, has paired mostly with sophomore Jacob Olson on the backline in addition to playing on the power play. Marino also plays on the right side and usually pairs up with junior Wiley Sherman. Senior Clay Anderson sees most of the action on the third defense unit with either Adam Baughman or Viktor Domborvskiy, both sophomores. Kerfoot cites the defense as another strong point and reason for Harvard’s fast start to the season. “We’re really good on the back and with Johnny and Foxie coming in. I didn’t think we know how good they’d both be right away. Adam is one of the best puck-moving defensemen I’ve ever seen. He slows the game down he’s got great lateral movement and really good with his feet.” In the goal, junior Merrick Madsen is in his second year of full time duty. The agile 6-5 netminder from Acton, California played every minute of the first half and compiled a 2.16 goals-against average and .923 save percentage. Donato probably has a hard time suppressing his enthusiasm for what’s ahead, but he does a good job when he says, “The challenge, as you advance, in when you into those one-game eliminations. So we’ve got to develop a mental toughness to prepare for those winner-take-all games.”

Huskies Poised for Another Blistering Stretch Run by Tom Burke Been there, done that. Twice. Can the Northeastern Huskies do it again, for the third year in a row? Been where? Near the back of the Hockey East pack after a slow start. Two years ago, Northeastern had a record of 1-10-1 to begin the year. Last season, they were 2-12-3 at the end of December. Done what? Catch fire in the second half and turn into one of the best teams in the East, if not in the nation. Two years ago, Northeastern went 15-5-3 in the second half. Unfortunately, two of those losses were in overtime, in the playoffs, and the season ended too early. Last year, the stretch run was a magical 20-2-2 skein that culminated in the team’s second Hockey East championship and an NCAA berth. Now it’s 2017, and the Huskies once again got off to a slow start. The hole wasn’t as deep as in the past two seasons; after 20 games the record was 7-9-4. And there were valid reasons for some rocky going – a rugged Hockey East schedule and a spate of injuries to key personnel. But the Huskies often didn’t play up to their potential either. Expectations were high for the full season after last year’s surge, which was ended only because the Huskies drew eventual NCAA champ North Dakota in the tourney opener. They have one of the most experienced rosters in college hockey, with 14 juniors and seniors available for duty. And the current squad members know from experience what it takes to bounce back. As coach Jim Madigan puts it, “We’ve been here before, unfortunately, but we’ve got a blueprint and we know how to get ourselves out of it. So we’re excited about our second half – 12 league games and the Beanpot. We want to get this team ready for February and playoff time, when we’ll be playing our best hockey.” To Madigan, playing their best hockey means tightening up the overall defense. Scoring goals hasn’t been a problem. As of press time, Northeastern had three of the top 10 point producers in the country: senior left wing Zach Aston-Reese, junior right wing Dylan Sikura, and sophomore center Adam Gaudette. Senior center John Stevens is another scoring threat, and after missing six games with a shoulder injury he’s racked up at least one point per game as well. Aston-Reese led the country in goals with 21, and was fourth overall in points with 39. Sikura ranked in a tie for seventh overall in points with 12-21-33. Gaudette, who centers the all-sophomore line between Patrick Schule and Lincoln Griffin, was 10th with 11-20-31.
John Stevens, the team captain currently back at center between Aston-Reese and Sikura, had 10 goals a year ago. His brother Nolan, now a junior, was the team’s top goalgetter a year ago with 20. He was sidelined with a shoulder injury after six games this season but is expected back in time for the Beanpot. When he does return, Madigan will probably reunite him with John and Aston-Reese on the team’s top line. Aston-Reese was more the playmaker than the scorer last season, with 14 goals and 29 assists. Madigan notes, “When he started playing with the Stevenses around this time last year, they found chemistry. He’s still missing Nolan, but he’s got Johnny. He’s smart, he has a good stick, he shoots a lot of pucks, and he can score in tight and from outside.” The return of Nolan Stevens and freshman Grant Jozefek, who also was injured after playing six games, will enable Madigan to spread the attack more evenly. Reliable secondary scoring will take some pressure off the defense. Both Sikura and Gaudette are enjoying breakout years and have already surpassed their full-season point totals of a year ago. Madigan can also call on sophomores Lincoln Griffin, and Patrick Schule, freshmen Matt Filipe and Biagio Lerario, and seniors Tanner Pond, Mike Jamieson, Sam Kurker, and Brendan Collier. While the expected boost in offense will be welcome, Madigan says, better defensive play is imperative. “It all comes back to one thing, and that’s what we do in the defensive zone. It’s not our defensemen. It’s the whole five-man unit. We have been inconsistent. We need to be better in front of our net and on our breakouts. Better positioning will allow us to spend less time in the defensive zone. And our goalies need to be making the right save at the right time. In the second half of last year, we spent very little time in our own zone,” said Madigan. Junior defenseman Garret Cockerill has been a full-time since his freshman season. He logs the most ice time of all the defenders and sees both power play and penalty killing duty. Freshman Jeremy Davies also is a power play point man and has been an adept shot-blocker. Through 22 games, he was second on the team with 40 blocked shots. As a team, the Huskies had blocked an average of 14.91 shots per game that ranked ninth in the nation. Sophomore Eric Williams and freshman Ryan Shea are other defensive regulars. Juniors Trevor Owens and Garrett Cecere, and senior Jake Schecter have also contributed on the backline. In goal, sophomore Ryan Ruck had posted a 3.13 goal-against average through 19 games. He split the goaltending chores with the graduated Derick Roy a year ago. Junior Jake Theut backs him up. It took 28 years for Northeastern to win its first Beanpot. The team that won that that long-ago 1980 tournament was a rank underdog with a lopsided losing record. It’s been 29 years since NU’s last Beanpot crown in 1988. Once again, the Huskies’ overall season record will not be as good as those of its three Beanpot foes. But it all depends on how you’re playing in February, and no one knows that better than the Huntington Hounds.

FROM THE ‘POT TO THE PROS: JIM FAHEY by Bill Doherty Noted hockey historian Dionne Warwick poses this winter’s Beanpot Trivia question. Do you know the way to San Jose? But hold on, you wine-sipping Beanpot Baby Boomers still shivering from the walk over from the Four’s. Before you shatter TD North glass with, ‘put a hundred down and buy a car’…….. Listen up, for local directions. Left on Baker Street ,right on Huntington, left again on St.Botolph, straight down the Causeway to the Callahan and Logan. Got it? Should that sound vaguely familiar, then perhaps you’ve played hockey at—and graduated from—Catholic Memorial, Northeastern University, and the Sharks of the National Hockey League. Or perhaps you are Jim Fahey. These days, the Way to San Jose, where Fahey took his hockey show in just those very steps after a brilliant career at Northeastern, is practically the Fahey Family—wife Brenell, and sons Cullen, 8 and Shay, 6-- Anthem, for sing’n out loud. A 1968 smash hit reprised in in 2002 when he was a newly-minted, world-class-business-degree-holding Shark, on his way to the West Coast and a long career in the pro ranks. Somewhere in the Garden tonight, this taller version of Jason Bourne reacquaints himself with umbilical territory, a place where, as a Northeastern defenseman wearing number 44, he thrilled sell-out crowds with a blue-line panache that one day would vault him onto the Hockey East All Decade Team. “Was I nervous that first night?” recalled Fahey recently about his Garden debut on February 1th, 1999 when his blades touched ice in the opener against Harvard before 17,505. “Let me put it this way. How many times—thirty, a hundred and thirty, did I dream of playing in the Beanpot as a young kid playing street hockey?” Tonight, as this 65th rendition of the now official holiday replacement for evacuation day in Suffolk County evolves, Fahey presses flesh with Terriers and Eagles, even Harvard graduates desperately trying to grease him for one of his many connections for entrance into Northeastern’s MBA program. As for bride Brenell, a Sacramento, CA native and former soccer-playing flight attendant who is here tonight because she fell for a “corny but cute’ line from a young Shark on a Canadian tarmac several years ago, she requests that you please silence your mobile devices: “The Beanpot is a religion,” she confesses. “The Olympics between four schools. There’s nothing even remotely like it where I grew up.”

Spoken like a true local (except for the fact she pronounced the “r” in Four) who first experienced as dogged determination in the courtship process, she later learned was just part of a super competitive edge. “Jim is just an amazing guy who never gives up on anything,” she exclaimed. That would include the work ethic, specifically the Husky variety, as fate would have it. Retired from professional hockey some seven years now, Fahey and family have settled in Walpole, Ma and a certain strategy has reversed itself. When it comes to business, he’s all sports. A while back he and friend Jakob Ferreira founded Hope Strengthens, a 501 C-3 charity that provides critical support to individual and families facing life-threatening illness from traumatic injuries. It’s a big piece of the passion to which he wife alluded, and overshadows hardware like the Walter Brown Award for best American-born college hockey player, or the 2003 World Hockey Championship placque. “Northeastern gave me business acumen,” said Fahey, a former rising executive at E.M.C. corporation who know manages international software management teams for Medallia
Group. “When I’m interviewing candidates these days, the first thing I ask them is ‘have you competed.’ “If they say yes, then I know they’ve probably failed and gotten themselves back up and sitting in front of me.” Sports competition begat business competition, in Fahey’s case. His early Beanpot street hockey dreams soon gave way to realizing more of them at Catholic Memorial, where he would lead the Knights to count em four Catholic Conference Championships under Bill Hanson. The Jim Fahey sweepstakes had begun. “You might say my search was limited,” said Fahey. “Playing in the Beanpot was nothing less than a prerequisite.” His recruited feet touched down on both sides of the Charles, with the Terrier being the most persistent. “Jack (Parker) used to joke that I made a mistake,” said Fahey, who was looking at Northeastern from a number of tasty angles. “Initially, it looked like a program where I could make an immediate impact, and that was attractive,” said Fahey. That would be an understatement, as the Milton, Ma. Native who now lives in Walpole with his wife Brenell and two young sons, seemed to be the embodiment of the terse assessment often given by veteran Major Pro players like Don McKenney. A pattern was emerging that McKenney had seen in players like Tony Amonte. He could play at any level. Midget (Tier 2 National Championship Team in 1996 before joining CM), Bantam, High school, juniors, Hockey East. A seamless high caliber of play was emerging. The right shot blueliner with the deft passing ability became a staple in Hockey East from the start, becoming one of the leading defenseman scorers in the Association in his first three years. With the McKenney Verdict less in doubt with each shift, it was his historic senior year at Northeastern that pushed him into the Husky records books and more than validated his 1998 NHL entry Draft selection by the Sharks. Forty Six points from a defenseman put him in a permanent conversation with Husky greats Rob Cowie, Mike Holmes, and Jimmy Averill. His coach at Northeastern, Bruce Crowder, knows a bit about the pedigree, having played major pro and coached 19 seasons in division 1 at Umass Lowell and Northeastern. He now is the regional director for a major medical device company. “Jim was one of the best competitors I ever coached,” said Crowder, who adds with a wry semi-chuckle: “Nowadays I tell operating room surgeons what to do. I stayed out of the way when his teammates elected him as captain as a junior,” he said. “That alone says a ton about his character and ability.” A University single-season record of 46 points garnered first team All America and Hobey Baker finalist honors. The stage was set for a seven-year professional hockey career, beginning with San Jose, where in 2002-2003 he led all NHL rookie defensemen in scoring while plying only half the season with the parent club. A bout of pneumonia in the 2004 season limited his playing time with the Sharks, after which he platooned between San Jose and their AHL affiliate, the Cleveland Barons. Following a two-year stint playing in Europe, Fahey saw one more shot at the NHL. “I had called Ron Wilson (Shark GM) to talk about my chances of re-signing and he told me the door to the NHL was probably closed for me at that point,” recalled Fahey. “ He confirmed what I had suspected. Like so many others, I had bills to pay. I was time to move on.” And move on he did, to that level that the McKenney Verdict leaves out—life. A coveted Northeastern degree in hand, Fahey was as facile at moving up the corporate ladder as he was shaking and baking and opposing forward on one of his classic rushes up ice. A few years at EMC, and onto the next challenge, with the Medallia Group.
“It’s just been a rocketship,” he said. These days, the Wall Street Journal has replaced the line charts, at least until Shay and Cullen are included on them, which shouldn’t be long now. In the meantime, he’ll run his foundation Hope Strengthens, and his American and Canadian software teams at Medallia. He’ll be fluent in friends, like former Husky mates Leon Hayward and Chris Lynch, coaches Crowder, CM Knight legend Hanson, long-time friend Jim Madigan, and business mentors like Dick Egan, and Billy Cotter. “Believe me,” said Fahey, “Jimmy (Madigan) never lets me forget that I never won a Beanpot. “But I happily live the Pot vicariously though him now.” Afterall, the Beanpot is religion and there’ll be no room for business banter under the Fahey roof tonight, or next two Monday nights. If you have not done so already, call in sick now, right from your seat. This is the best type of pot with which to put your troubles away, and, as Jim and Brenell will remind you, forget everything. Except the Way to San Jose.
