Lane Hutson is the first defenseman in Hockey East history to lead the conference in conference scoring and the first freshman to do so since Jack Eichel in 2014-15
Lane Hutson passes Brian Leetch with his 48th point of the season, making him the highest scoring freshman defenseman since 1982-83 and 3rd all-time among U19, per EliteProspects
Rivalries are best when both sides are at their best. BC was at their best when a Gaudreau was on the ice, Johnny and Matty ushered in the new era of the Green Line Rivalry as BU saw changes behind their bench for the first time in decades. Rest in Peace, Johnny and Matty. AMDG
For the first in the nearly 106 years of their rivalry, Boston University and Boston College will face-off in the Battle of Commonwealth Avenue as the
#1
and
#2
teams in the nation
Jay Pandolfo appears to be the first person in NCAA DI History to make the Frozen Four all 4 years as a player and then coach his team to the Frozen Four in his first year as a Head Coach
Boston University is heading to their 24th Frozen Four (3rd most all time) and their first back to back Frozen Four since 5 consecutive appearances from 1993 to 1997
Jay Pandolfo is the first coach in DI Men's Ice Hockey history to go to the Frozen Four all four years as a player and his first two years as a head coach
Lane Hutson leaves BU with a career stat line of 30-67--97, the only Terrier defenseman to record 60+ career points at the end of his sophomore year and best offensive defense in Terrier history since Dick Lamby (1976-1978)
To hear
@TomCaron
shout-out my work on the premier college hockey tournament in the country, the Beanpot, was one of the greatest moments my little stats and notes has ever seen
Shane LaChance scored a goal at BU's 3rd home rink, Agganis Arena
Scott LaChance, his father, scored at BU's 2nd home rink, Walter Brown Arena
Jack Parker, his grandfather, scored at BU's 1st home rink, Boston Arena
Macklin Celebrini is the sole unanimous selection to the Hockey East First Team All-Stars Team, since 2018-19 the Hockey East Player of the Year has been a unanimous selection to the Hockey East First Team
Absolutely insane Lane Hutson stat in the post game notes.
Lane Hutson has 91 pts in 71 career games
Scott Morrow, the active leader, has 93 pts in 105 career games
This was the most magical season I've seen as a BU fan. I am amazed by the positivity I received for my silly stats, and I've met so many great people and made many new friends. Unlike 2015, this doesn't feel like a flash in the pan it feels like the start of a new era

It really says a lot about BU's impact on E-Rod for him to spend his one day with the Cup bringing it back to campus instead of his hometown. As
@BurntBoats
pointed out, he wasn't even listed among the 392 prospects (for 210 picks) for his draft year
Today we’re welcoming Gavin McCarthy to our program! A third-round draft pick of the Buffalo Sabres, Gavin joins us after leading all Muskegon defensemen with eight goals this past season.

Since losing the 2015 National Championship Game, every season that the Terriers have made the Frozen Four, a member of the 2014-15 team has won the Stanley Cup
Happy Lane Hutson Day! Lane has recorded 11 goals this season, 6 of which were power play goals, of the 5 even strength goals, 3 came as part of a hat trick on November 11th vs North Dakota
Macklin Celebrini is the 2nd Terrier ever to accomplish the feat, the other being Jack Eichel (2014-15), who's 44 Hockey East pts he matched this season
With Celebrini's win, BU moves into a tie with Harvard and Minnesota for the 2nd most Hobey Baker winners with 4 and passing BC and Michigan with 3 each
With the season coming to a close, I'm so grateful for all the great new people I've met, being able to help out broadcasters and fans find answers, and to share stats and notes. Personal highlights: a Beanpot broadcast mention and helping to solve the Comm Ave transfer mystery
With the assist on the game winning goal, Matt Brown reaches the 100 career point milestone. Here's where and when those 100 points came:
