After scoring the overtime game-winner for Northeastern University on Saturday, former Boston University men’s hockey forward Vinny Saponari said he talked with some of the Terriers, including senior goalie Grant Rollheiser, in the handshake line. BU coach Jack Parker wasn’t among them.
“We’ve moved on. I’m sure he’s moved on,” Parker said. “He’s a good player. He was a good player when he was with us, and I’m sure he had a very good season for them because he’s a very good player.”
Senior captain Chris Connolly said he spoke briefly to Saponari, who came to BU in the same year as Connolly but lost a year of eligibility when he transferred to Northeastern.
“He’s good friends with a lot of us on the team,” Connolly said. “He was a classmate of mine, so I just said good luck with everything he has to do next year, and that I’d see him around. I know he’ll be around the area, so maybe over the summer.
