6 January

1960: Boston University defeated Clarkson, 4-2, at Boston Arena for the 300th win in the program’s history.

1962: Army defeated Boston University, 4-0, at Stuart Rink at West Point. It was the first victory by the Cadets over the Terriers in the history of the series that began on 28 January 1925. It was the twenty-ninth game played in the series, of which Army had previously managed only two ties against BU [in 1940 and 1941] and broke a 15-game winning streak by the Terriers. Only five of the 29 games were played in Boston, the other 24 were all played at West Point.

After a scoreless first period Army went up 1-0 at 2:09 of the second on a goal by Tom Dooley, the only scoring in the second period. In the third Army scored three more times as Dolley scored again, along with Dick Peterson and Mike Buckley. Cadet goalie Ron Chisolm earned his third shutout of the season, stopping all 26 shots he faced, twelve of them in the third. Terrier goalie Bruce Plante made 25 saves in a losing effort.
