1970: BU began its season against the new St. Louis University program and provided a glimpse of the dominance to come. Junior center John Danby registered a hattrick and fellow junior Tim Regan (photo) fashioned a shutout in the Terriers' 8-0 win. Sophomore center Steve Dolloff added a pair in his first varsity game. The win was the first of thirteen in the team’s initial 14 games with only a tie with Harvard marring the record. BU would go on to win its first National Championship, beating Minnesota in the title game.
1971: Defending national champion BU dedicated its new home ice, the Walter Brown Memorial Rink, beating Yale 6-3. The Elis jumped out to an early 2-0 lead, but BU erased that on power play goals by Ron Anderson and John Danby and took the lead on Ric Jordan’s rebound goal.

1993: Football, not hockey, but one of the most thrilling days ever in Boston University sports. The undefeated (11-0) Terriers met Northern Iowa in the first round of the Div. IAA playoffs at Nickerson Field. The Panthers, led by future NFLers Kurt Warner and Dedric Ward surged ahead, 21-6 early in the third quarter. BU was on the ropes, but a 48-yard fumble return by John Schaeffer gave the Terriers life. In the fourth quarter, QB Robert Dougherty engineered a 92-yard scoring drive, then hit Jason Andrade in the corner of the end zone for a two-point extra conversion to tie the score and force overtime. Neither team scored in the first overtime and BU’s field goal attempt in the second OT was blocked. But a face mask call gave BU a second chance and Zack Burwell burst the final four yards into the end zone for a dramatic win. Members of the BU hockey team, dressed for practice, had come upstairs from Brown Arena and were standing in the back of the end zone when Burwell scored. Video of the comeback win is provided in two clips narrated byDoug Brown: 1 (game begins at the 6:00 mark) and 2.
