A frontrunner from day one, reports say that Boston College has decided on Greg Brown to be the program’s next head coach. Brown takes over for the legendary Jerry York, who led BC to 4 NCAA Championships and is the winningest coach in college hockey.
Brown is a Boston College alumnus who played for the Eagles from 1986-1990 (taking 1987-88 off to play for Team USA). He went on to play in the AHL, NHL, and a variety of European leagues before retiring from play in 2003.
He joined the Boston College bench in 2004 as an assistant coach, and was named associate head coach in 2012.
