20 December

1966: Boston University defeated Clarkson, 3-2, in the championship game of the ECAC Holiday Festival at Madison Square Garden in New York. After a scoreless first period BU struck just 53 seconds into the second period when Mike Sobeski beat Clarkson goalie John Miller. Less than 7 minutes later, the Terriers doubled their lead when Charlie Morgan scored. However, 2:04 after that the Golden Knights made it a one goal game again when Tom McCabe scored on the power play. After killing off another penalty BU made it 3-1 when Herb Wakabayashi scored with 3:45 left in the period. In the third Ernie Reynolds scored another goal for Clarkson with just under 5 minutes left in the game. However the Golden Knights were unable to tie the game as Wayne Ryan held them off for the win. For the game Ryan made 36 saves while Miller made 27 saves for Clarkson.
