CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. —Jerry York, the winningest coach in NCAA hockey history, five-time NCAA champion, National Hockey League and US Hockey hall of famer, and beloved Boston College ambassador and University citizen, has announced his retirement after 50 years of Division I coaching, including 28 years as coach of the Eagles.
York, 76, met with his coaches and players today to inform them of his decision which, he said, was based on a desire to travel more with his wife, Bobbie, play golf for the first time during a weekend in the fall,
spend more time with his family, and watch his two grandchildren play hockey, lacrosse, and soccer games in Pittsburgh.
