23 January

1971: BU’s 14 game unbeaten streak to begin the 70-71 season came to an end at Cornell’s Lynah Rink with the Big Red taking a 5-1 win. Toot Cahoon gave the Terriers a 1-0 lead midway through the first, but Cornell matched it and added a go-ahead goal before the period ended. The defeat left BU still seeking its first-ever win against Cornell—which would come less than two months later in the ECAC tournament.

1971: BU extended its unbeaten streak to 14 games (13-0-1) with a 13-4 thumping of Dartmouth at Boston Arena. Senior wing Wayne Gowing led the attack with four goals and junior wing Bob Gryp recorded a hat trick, while junior Don "Toot" Cahoon added a pair. Singleton by junior Bob Murray, and three sophomores—Steve Dolloff, Ric Jordan and Ron Anderson—rounded out the scoring. Murray also had four assists. Terriers emerged from the first period with a 3-2 lead thanks to Gowing’s first goal; then, following an emphatic between-periods address by Coach Jack Kelley, they exploded to outscore Dartmouth by a 5-1 margin in each of the next two periods.
