WHAT?!?!? OMG. RIP FiveHole12.

Top notch hockey guy; he clearly knew what he was talking about. Which is pretty rare.

yep. In honor of Steve i will say he knew his "chit" as he used to say.

Re: Boston College Eagles 🦅 2018-2019

My heart just sank. Whenever I went to a game I always tried to sit in section P where Steve was. RIP.

I know Mike. He was quite a guy. It was a privilege to have known such a wonderful , caring man.

Re: Boston College Eagles 🦅 2018-2019

I'm stunned by this, Joe. I was up at Alfond years ago for a BC-Maine game and noticed that the guy in front of me was wearing a hat from my HS alma mater in Brockton, It turns out his brother was/is the AD there. That began a great friendship. My wife and I would walk over to his section before every game to see how much popcorn he had spilled! I lost touch when I moved to RI and gave up my BC tickets. Steve was one of the good guys.

i know it, thought of you first when i posted. I didnt know about his brother's position all this time until the recent UMaine weekend. We had a blast and I'm so thankful that i got to spend that weekend with him at a place, HIS place, way up in Maine, his old fishing area. .........................................the popcorn!!!! I also used to give him a hard time every time he bought popcorn, which was almost every game. He was ****ED when they stopped selling clam chowder! Lots of incredible memories topped off with the trip to Tampa in 2012 .

That is terrible news. I don't know what to say, other than RIP, Steve.

And for the rest of us, enjoy every day to the fullest.

Amen Terrier brother.

For those interested (thank you Nick, he was a HUGE fan of your's!) the wake and funeral information will be posted on Sullivan Funeral Home's website in Hanover MA (Steve Gerrish) tomorrow as i believe the arrangements were made just today. One of his daughter's let me know a couple hours ago. On behalf of Steve, thank you all. I will be sure to tell his girls. Here is just a sample of what Steve was all about:

It is with great sadness that i share the sad news of the passing of our dear friend and long time poster , FiveHole12. I met Steve about 12 years ago and have been good friends ever since. He was a wonderful, giving, thoughtful human being and will be missed. Please pray for our hockey brother. I was with him at the BC at Maine weekend at the end of the regular season and shortly there after i got a phone call from him and he explained what was happening. He was diagnosed with a brain tumor and while the surgery was successful , it was the infection he developed afterwards that took him from us. R.I.P my buddy, i will miss you.

Cancer sucks!

He was a great poster and through his posts, you could feel his passion for BC hockey. He will be missed.

Re: Boston College Eagles 🦅 2018-2019

Who recruits the players that should be able to put the puck in the net? Or defend their own zone?

They were FF teams in 2014 and 2016, lost 7 players in 2016 and had to reload in 3 months. Tolvensen doesn't show up because he couldn't get out of high school. There are problems for sure and the talent level is not the same but the coaches have not forgotten how to coach and motivate. Thinking otherwise is nonsense.
