The Terrier Twelve: No. 11 - Red Hot Hockey
June 24, 2008
The Terrier Twelve continues with Red Hot Hockey coming in at No. 11. The men's ice hockey team renewed its rivalry with Cornell with a sold-out match-up at Madison Square Garden on Nov. 24. Playing in front of the largest crowd in program history (18,200), the Terriers posted a 6-3 victory over the Big Red. Paced by a three-goal spurt in a span of two minutes, 16 seconds in the first period, the Terriers jumped out to a lead they would never relinquish, as six different players found the back of the net for BU. Freshman Joe Pereira opened the scoring at 8:50 of the first with his first career goal, then assisted on sophomore Luke Popko's tally 18 seconds later. Junior Brandon Yip and senior Pete MacArthur also recorded a goal and an assist each, while freshman Colin Wilson and senior Bryan Ewing each scored a goal. The game served as a renewal of one of the greatest rivalries in college hockey, as the two teams battled for eastern supremacy from the late `60s to the early `80s when they were both members of the Eastern Collegeiate Athletic Conference (ECAC).
