1923: Boston University shutout Bates, 6-0, at the Auburn Winter Carnival. It was the Terriers first shutout victory in the team’s history. George Sterling scored a few minutes after the opening face-off, he then scored again, followed by Morey Kontoff and Joseph Almer to give BU a 4-0 lead after one. Bates held BU scoreless in the second with good defense, but in the third period Kontoff scored on a great individual effort, flashing down the ice, dodging the Bates defensemen and drawing Batten from the net. Robert Blais, subbing for Almer, scored the final goal of the game.
1937: Boston University defeated Dartmouth, 4-2, at Davis Rink in Hanover. It was the Terriers first win over the Indians in 5 tries over 11 seasons. The teams annually scheduled a game at Hanover after the first meeting at Boston Arena in 1926, but it had to cancelled because of poor ice due to warm weather until 1934.
In the first period Gerry Desrosiers scored with 25 seconds remaining on a pass from Russell Lynch to give BU a 1-0 lead after one. In the second the Indians tied the game at 2:35 when Bus Foster beat Robert Colburn. The Terriers retook the lead when Al Woodward beat Wesley Goding at 7:50 of the period and Desrosiers made it 3-1 at 12:31 when he scored his second goal of the game. In the third Dartmouth kept the puck deep in the BU zone and peppered Colburn with shots and it paid off when Gordon Clark scored at 8:35 to make it a one goal game. The Indians continued to pressure the Terriers until Desrosiers broke out and scored unassisted after a spectacular dash with 1:20 remaining in the period to complete his hat trick.
