Boston University men’s hockey coach Jack Parker does not know yet who will be in net for the No. 12 Terriers against No. 5 University of North Dakota on Friday. However, he’s looking forward to being back behind the bench.
Parker, who did not travel to the team’s game at the University of Massachusetts on Saturday due to back problems, said he is feeling better and that he remembers missing a road game due to health problems once before, about 12 years ago against Merrimack College.
“It’s much more nerve-wracking watching the game when you’re not on the bench and involved in the game, so I went out to dinner with Travis Roy,” Parker said of that night. “Saturday, my back was aching so I didn’t really go anywhere, I just lay on the couch and chilled.”
While Parker was at home, freshman goalie Matt O’Connor was recording 34 saves against the Minutemen to help lead the Terriers to a 3–2 win. O’Connor was named October’s Hockey East Co-Rookie of the Month, sharing the award with Providence goalie Jon Gillies.
