Guaranteed. [email protected] FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: SEPT. 26, 2006 RETURNING STARS GIVE EAGLES PRE-SEASON EDGE Final Four from 2006 league tourney secure top spots among coaches With the likes of towering center Brian Boyle and impenetrable goalie Cory Schneider returning to The Heights, Boston College is the overwhelming favorite in the Hockey East pre-season coaches’ poll. The Eagles garnered eight of a possible nine first-place votes (coaches couldn’t vote for their own team) to easily outdistance their cross-town rivals at Boston University. However, the Terriers, as well as two traditional powerhouses, Maine and New Hampshire, weren’t far behind. BC Coach Jerry York lost only three players form a team last year that came within a whisker of sending the NCAA championship game against Wisconsin into overtime, eventually losing 2-1. A young defensive corps gained considerable experience during the team’s march to the finals, and two swift forward lines ensure that the Eagles will boast plenty of firepower. Meanwhile, the Terriers, the defending Hockey East regular season and tournament champs, may still be playing with something to prove after being knocked out of the NCAAs by BC. Coach Jack Parker, coming off consecutive “Coach of the Year” performances, has battle-tested senior John Curry supplying solid goaltending, and a fleet of relentless forwards, including last year’s Hockey East Rookie of the Year, Brandon Yip.
