Boxing Ringside HOOPS and HOCKEY in the HUB by Richard Preiss WITH BOBBY FRANKLIN

If you feel that something is missing on the local sports calendar Remembering Kid Gavilan as we enter February you are not alone. For the TD Garden will be not be the center of attention on the IN PHOTOS proverbial fi rst two Mondays in February this year. The Beanpot, a beacon of brightness in winter, will not be held, marking the fi rst time in its history that the event has not been played. Thus, Northeastern, which has won three Beanpots in a row, will have to wait until next year to be given the opportunity to extend its championship run to four consecutive titles. Last year’s event proved to be exciting as Northeastern and Boston University battled to a 4-4 tie in regulation. BU freshman Trevor Zegras scored with a scant 1.2 seconds remaining to force overtime. Then Northeastern defenseman Jordan Harris achieved Beanpot immortality by sending home the winning goal in double OT. It was the Huskies’ seventh title in the storied history of the event and extended Northeastern’s stay at the top after enduring a long three-decade interval without winning a championship. This year three of the tournament’s four teams are one the ice competing in a regular collegiate season. Northeastern, Boston University, and Boston College are all members of Hockey East, which elected to proceed with a regular season. Harvard belongs to the Ivy League — whose offi cials chose not to have any fall or Fighting Billy Graham winter varsity sports for the 2020-2021 academic year with the fate The Champion: Kid Gavilan of spring sports still to be decided. The Ivy League does not have its own conference setup. Rather the six Ivy League schools that play Division 1 hockey belong to the Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC), a 12-team league that has been decimated since its Ivy League member schools (Harvard, Yale, Brown, Dartmouth, Cornell, and Princeton) are not playing this year. In addition, Union and RPI also chose not to compete in hockey this year. The remaining schools decided to soldier on with the remaining four schools (Clarkson, Saint Lawrence, Quinnipiac, and Colgate) playing a modifi ed league schedule augmented by a number of non-league games. Yes, it has been a challenging time, even for Hockey East, with some games postponed and some schools having to “pause” athletic activity for various intervals. But it is better than no season at all. Through games of February 1st Boston College was second in the 11-team conference with a 9-2-1 mark (27 points) while Northeastern was fi fth with a 6-3-2 record (21 points) and Boston University was sixth at 5-3-1 (13 points). According to the conference’s internet site, the 2021 Hockey East Tournament is still slated to be played with a format and schedule Working the Double End Bag to be announced. The “Final Four” teams traditionally convene at Fighting Sugar Ray Robinson the Garden in mid-March to determine the conference champion. The winner earns an automatic berth into college hockey’s version of the NCAA “March Madness” Tournament that concludes in mid- April with the crowning of a national champion. The 2021 Frozen Four Tournament will be held in Pittsburgh with a pair of semifi nal games set for April 8th, and the national championship game scheduled for April 10th. The TD Garden will host the Frozen Four event in 2022 (April 7th and April 9th). That will be the third time the national championship has been determined in the present Garden. The fi rst came in 2004 when Denver defeated Maine 1-0 in the famous “six on three fi nish” with Denver holding on despite Maine’s three-man advantage over the course of the fi nal two minutes. The second took place in 2015 when Providence earned its fi rst Hitting the Speed Bag hockey national championship in school history by defeating highly regarded Boston University, 4-3. However, many observers felt that the best game of that Frozen Four was the semifi nal between BU and North Dakota, a team that featured 14 NHL draft picks. BU won that tightly fought game 5-3 and both head coaches went on to sign lucrative NHL contracts. North Dakota mentor Dave Hakstol became the head coach of the Philadelphia Flyers just months after the 2015 Frozen Four. He was the fi rst college coach to go directly to the NHL since 1982 when University of Wisconsin head coach Bob Johnson left the Badgers to coach the Calgary Flames. Quinn would become the bench boss of the New York Rangers in May, 2018. The move took Boston University fans by surprise Soaking his hands after a victory since it was assumed he would follow the same path as legendary coach Jack Parker who had played at BU in the 1960s and then later coached there for 40 years. Indeed, Quinn seemed to have started down a similar path, hav- ing played for the Terriers under Parker, and then later returning to serve as an assistant coach on his staff. He was named head coach in 2013 following Parker’s retire- The Kid could dance in the ring and out ment and proceeded to lead the Terriers to four consecutive NCAA Tournament berths (2015, 2016, 2017, and 2018). During the 2014- 2015 campaign, the Terriers won the Beanpot, both the Hockey East regular season and Hockey East Tournament titles and went all the way to the Frozen Four championship game. He also was named the 2015 New England Coach of the Year and Hockey East Coach of the Year. But he signed with the Rangers in 2018, like Hakstol, leaving a top college coaching position behind. North Dakota made seven NCAA Frozen Four appearances during Hakstol’s 11 years behind the UND bench. But he lasted less than four seasons with Philadelphia before being let go in December, 2018. He is now an assistant with Toronto. The Rangers fi nished seventh in the Metropolitan Division during Quinn’s fi rst two years behind the bench, losing to Carolina in the qualifying round last summer. This season New York was in last place in the East Division through February 1st, having only played eight games of the condensed 56-game regular season schedule. So there are numerous opportunities to improve. Whether that will Playing the Bongo with Jimmy Carter The Kid with Promoter Jim Norris take place is anyone’s guess.
