1972: Boston University won its first ECAC Tournament championship defeating arch-rival Cornell, 4-1, at Boston Garden. The win ended seven seasons of frustration as the Terriers had lost in 5 of the 6 previous semifinals (3 times to Cornell) and once in the championship game (also to Cornell) in 1967. John Danby, Bob Brown, Dave Wisener and Peter Thornton scored for the Terriers, while Dan Brady only allowed Cornell one goal in the victory.
Danby, who netted a hat trick the night before in the semifinal win vs. Harvard, was named the tournament MVP, but according to The Intercollegiate Hockey Newsletter the Terriers won because of defenseman Bob Brown. The reports called him "probably the finest blueliner ever to play in the East" and "the sort of star who affects the play of the entire team."
