Jerry York Named to U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame
September 14, 2020 | Men's Hockey
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – Schiller Family Head Hockey Coach Jerry York was named to the Class of 2020 for the U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame on Monday night. York will be formally inducted in December of 2021 along with Dean Blais, Tony Granato and Jenny Potter.
York will become the 10th Eagle overall and third BC head coach to earn induction into the U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame, joining two of his predecessors John "Snooks" Kelley (1974) and Len Ceglarski (1992). He was enshrined in the Hockey Hall of Fame last November in Toronto, becoming the first-ever inductee to coach exclusively at the NCAA level.
The 2020-21 season will mark York's 49th as a Division I head coach and his 27th at BC. College hockey's all-time winningest coach with 1,091 career wins, his legendary career has spanned 26 years (1994-present) at his alma mater, 15 years (1979-94) at Bowling Green, and seven years (1972-79) at Clarkson.
During his time on the Heights, York has earned four NCAA Championships (2001, 2008, 2010, 2012), nine Hockey East Tournament Titles, 11 Hockey East Regular Season Championships, and 12 Frozen Four berths. He has led 23 of his teams to 25 or more wins and is the all-time leader in NCAA Tournament wins with 41.
York scored 134 points (64 goals and 70 assists) in his 81-game Boston College career as a three-year letterman from 1964-67. He still ranks top-30 among the school's all-time leaders in career goals and top-40 in career points.
