This weekend, when it comes to coaches in the first year of new gigs, David Quinn will have company — plenty of it.
All three teams involved in the Boston University men’s hockey team’s weekend feature bench bosses about a month and a half into their inaugural season in their new positions: Quinn, Red Gendron (University of Maine) and Mike Cavanaugh (University of Connecticut).
“I have known Red a long time and he has done a great job and he has moved around an awful lot,” Quinn said. “Mike Cavanaugh and I have been good friends for a long time back to his days at Dartmouth and my days back at Nebraska-Omaha. So it will be fun. It will be fun to see those guys and shoot the breeze with them a little bit before the game. Hopefully they both go 0-1 on the weekend.”
The Terriers (4-5, 2-2 Hockey East) will visit the Black Bears (4-4-1, 1-2-1 Hockey East) for a matchup Friday evening at Alfond Arena in Orono, Maine, before hosting the Huskies (3-2-1) at Agganis Arena at 5 p.m. Sunday.
The BU team Maine and UConn sees, however, will look quite different than the one that lost to Boston College — and even made the Eagles “look like the Harlem Globetrotters,” as Quinn put it — last week.

At least thye UCONN game means a sure 2 points. If DQ loses to UCONN, he should be fired on the spot.

Get real. 9 games into DQ’s first year and you’re calling for his scalp. Are you just stupid? Go away.
I wish DQ has as much passion as you do. DQ just stood there with a bored look on his face as BC steamrolled us on our home ice. Coach Parker would not have taken a BC beatdown lying down like DQ did.
Ignore that jerk! He comes on here to stir the pot. Very ignorant and childish. Always misinformed and is highly jealous of DQ. Just a hater.
