There certainly are some good young coaches out there. Blasi and Sneddon impress me. Not a fan of Sneddon's system, though.Originally posted by Greg Ambrose on 3/7/2010The fact that you BC fans revel in the superiority of your team in an admittedly weak league leads me to believe you will be more sorely disappointed when the end comes than we will.

Re: I will say this, if we didn't have Jerry York
I wonder how much of his success has been the new Goggin center. If you look at his first six years, he was mediocre, with one good season (23-14-4). In 2004 they broke ground on the Goggin, and since 2005-2006 they haven't been worse than ten games over .500.
I don't know the reason for the sudden jump in performance. It could be the arena itself, it could be a larger University commitment to hockey of which the new arena was just the most visible symptom, or it could be Rico.
What is impressive about York is that he achieves so much success in an aging arena, on a campus where hockey is 3rd fiddle.Boston College Eagle Hockey » "We want our players to leave here with a diploma in one hand and a ring in the other." - Jerry York

I will gladly take Jerry York off your hands if you want Blasi.

Like the program, Rico's gotten better and it's a chicken/egg kind of thing.

Originally posted by redhawk95 View PostIt was building over time, but in watching the progress, I've noticed that Rico has gotten demonstrably better as an X's and O's guy (timeout notwithstanding). Remember, he was 27 years old when he got the job. That said, he's still friggin young compared to the most successful guys - Berenson, York, Parker, Gwoz, Comley, etc.

Jerry got the Clarkson head coach job in 1972-73 when he was 27. 4 years later he has the #1 team in the nation. He can recruit and he can teach. Plus he wasn't that bad a tennis coach either!CCT '77 & '78

Originally posted by Puck Swami View PostConte Forum was built in the late 80s, correct? So it's a little over 20 years old. Is that "aging" now? I am getting old.
Conte Forum was constructed as a basketball arena first...hockey second.
In my mind, the administration made a mistake in accepting that design. In 20 years, BC basketball has pretty much sunk to mediocrity. Hockey, on the other hand, has done very well.
At least on our end of Commonwealth Ave, there was no debate about which sport was more important at Agganis Arena. Its a hockey venue....pure and simple.Thank goodness for advanced technology.
