26 November

1996: Chris Drury's hattrick powered BU to a pre-Thanksgiving thumping of Harvard, 5-1 at Walter Brown Arena. Mike Sylvia and Chris Heron also scored while Billy Pierce added two assists. Tom Noble stopped 17 shots.

1966: BU opened one of its finest seasons convincingly sweeping a pair from the University of New Brunswick. At Boston Arena, the Terriers followed the previous night's 10-1 win with a 9-2 victory. Led by veteran defensemen Brian Gilmour and Pete McLachlan, senior forwards Jim Quinn, Mike Sobeski and Fred Bassi and the dynamic sophomore "Pinball Line" of Herb Wakabayashi, Serge Boily and Mickey Gray, BU raced through the regular season with losses only to Denver and the Eastern Olympics in an exhibition. However, the Terriers' post-season was stymied twice by Ken Dryden and Cornell: in the ECAC championship game and the NCAA final.
