As a young Boston College fan, I unfortunately don’t have nearly as many memories of Jerry York’s hockey teams as other writers and fans that have gotten to see his run of excellence in its entirety. But I can say that I’ve seen at least a fair share of exciting games, and nothing for me tops the Hockey East quarterfinals series against Providence in 2019.
Boston College’s 2018-19 season, in short, was disappointing. They’d only mustered a 7-seed in the Hockey East playoffs after finishing the season on a terrible 1-7-1 run, including a loss in the Beanpot final to Northeastern.
