College Hockey Weekly: National Powers Quickly Regain Relevance

Filed under: ,

Boston University Terriers

Each week, FanHouse takes a look at what's going on in college hockey.


For 2009 NCAA champion Boston University and 2008 NCAA runner-up Notre Dame, last season was almost completely forgettable. The Terriers started slowly and never recovered for a chance to defend their national championship, finishing 18-17-3 and bowing out in the Hockey East Tournament semifinals.

Notre Dame, meanwhile, never got anything significant going last year. The Fighting Irish, after winning 31 games in the previous season, finished 13-17-8, disappearing from the CCHA championship radar.

With experienced coaches who have won NCAA titles before -- Jack Parker at BU and Jeff Jackson at Notre Dame -- it was only a matter of time before these teams were back among the contenders.
