Once a Terrier, always a Terrier. As an undergrad, O’Connell (CAS’99) had 108 career points and led his team in scoring as captain his senior year. He played in two Frozen Fours and won a Hockey East title. Considered one of the NCAA’s top recruiters as a coach, O’Connell returned to BU in 2014. During his tenure as associate head coach, BU finished as the national runner-up in 2015, collecting the Beanpot and Hockey East titles. The Terriers reached the NCAA quarterfinals in 2017 and 2018. O’Connell calls his promotion to head coach “the opportunity of a lifetime.”
