Today, I'm reviewing Boston University Hockey, by Bernard M. Corbett.

Boston University, or BU as it is often called, took to the ice in 1918, and has been one of the most successful NCAA college hockey programs since. Numerous players have come and gone through the program, many of them on to the pro ranks.

Four of the biggest names in BU history, Jack O'Callahan, Jim Craig, Dave Silk, and Mike Eruzione, all played for the 1980 men's Olympic hockey team that upset the Russians and won gold in Lake Placid. Other names include John Cullen '87, Rick Meagher '77, the school's only three-time All-American.

Remarkably, for such a long-lived program, there have been very few coaches behind the bench; Harry Cleverley '37, who returned to coach the team, Jack Kelly, and Jack Parker, who is set to retire at the end of this season.

There are also a pair of pictures of Travis Roy; his collegiate career ended just eleven seconds after it started, when he went into the corner to throw a hit onto an opponent, and ended up paralyzed. His number 24 was retired not long afterward, and remains the only retired number in BU history to date.

This book has a lot of pictures that haven't been seen anywhere else. As always, Arcadia Publishing has done a tremendous job of bringing action shots along with up close player photos, depicting BU history over the decades.
