February 15, 2019 | Boston College Athletics, Men's Hockey
WAKEFIELD, Mass. – Former Boston College associate athletic director Tom Peters will be presented with the prestigious Hockey East Founders Medal at this year's Hockey East Championships, as announced by the league on Friday.
Peters will be presented the Hockey East Founders Medal along with former UMass Lowell athletic director Dana Skinner on the TD Garden ice on Friday, March 22, between semifinal games of the 35th annual Hockey East Championships.
Peters spent 27 years in athletic administration at Boston College after joining the staff as an associate athletic director in January 1992. Prior to coming to the Heights, Peters spent more than three years as associate athletic director at Tulane University. In addition, Peters served as Tulane's acting athletic director from December 1990 until June 1991.
Peters' responsibilities at Boston College included overseeing the men's hockey, men's soccer, men's and women's swimming and baseball programs — and serving as the department's liaison with numerous athletic-related support groups.
Peters also served as tournament manager for a host of postseason events, including the 2009 NCAA Men's Basketball East Regional, the 1999 and 2003 NCAA Men's Basketball East Region First and Second Rounds, and the 2003 Intercollegiate Fencing Association championships.
A 1971 graduate of the University of Massachusetts-Amherst, Peters was a three-year hockey letterman for the Minutemen. Peters earned a master's degree in sports management from the University in 1973.
Peters was honored by his alma mater in November of 2004, when the sport management program awarded him the 2003-04 Harold J. VanderZwaag Distinguished Alumnus Award in recognition of outstanding contributions to the sport industry.
