13 February

1971: Terriers improved their record to a gaudy 19-1-1 with an 8-3 rout of New Hampshire at Boston Arena. BU jumped to a 3-0 first period lead with markers from John Danby, Guy Burrows and Steve Stirling--all within a two-and-a-half minute span. Second period was a bit more even with the home team scoring three more times and the visitors responding with a pair. Ric Jordan, Bob Gryp and Bob Murray tallied for BU. Jordan's second of the game and a goal by current UMass coach Don "Toot" Cahoon closed out the BU scoring in the third while Dick Umile, now the UNH mentor, scored for the Wildcats. Dan Brady made 26 saves for BU.

1991: Tony Amonte recorded the fastest hattrick in Beanpot Tournament history with a trio of goals with 5:24 of the second period as BU cruised past BC, 8-4, for its XX beanpot championship and 16 win of the season. Amonte earned tournament MVP honors, succeeding Dave Tomlinson who won the honor in 1990. Defenseman Mark Krys scored his first collegiate goal while David Sacco's pair of assists brought him to the 100-career point mark. BU also received goals from Petteri Koskimaki, Peter McCann, Doug Friedman and Mark Bavis. John Bradley stopped 34 shots to earn the win.
