1970: BU opens what would become a season like none other before in school history on the road with St. Louis University, a new Division I program. Coach Jack Kelley's Terriers, who were hardly generous guests, posting an 8-0 victory, made an early statement with goals by Juniors Bob Gryp and John Danby—his first of three—coming before the game was two and a half minute old. Sophomore Steve Dolloff added a pair of goals while seniors Wayne Gowing and captain Steve Stirling also found the net. Junior netminder Tim Regan stopped 18 shots to earn the shutout.
