Before He Becomes A Top NHL Draft Pick,
Jack Eichel Is Looking To Lift BU Back To Prominence
And Lead The U.S. To World Junior Gold
TWO YEARS AGO,when David Quinn was offered the head coaching
position at his alma mater, he didn’t need a lot of extra
incentive to take the job. A native New Englander
with NHL coaching experience, Quinn had longed
for the opportunity to follow legendary coach Jack
Parker at the helm of Boston University’s renowned
hockey program.
Still, there was a little bit of an additional signing
bonus waiting for Quinn to grab the corner office inside
Agganis Arena — a commodity that no other Junior,
college or pro coaching job in the world could boast.
Two years earlier, when he was just 15, with stints
for the Boston Junior Bruins and the National Team
Development Program on his growing hockey
resume, a promising forward named Jack Eichel
made a commitment to Parker that one day he would
wear the red and white sweater of the Terriers. And
despite lots of needless noise that Parker’s retirement
might mean a change of heart for Eichel, there he was
in October 2014, wearing that celebrated uniform
with “BOSTON” on the front, just above a white
number nine.
If folks were expecting Eichel to quietly transition
to the college game, timidly dip his toe into the waters
and learn from his elders as he sought a regular spot in
the BU lineup, it took just three games to shatter that
notion. Before the first piece of Halloween candy had
been handed out, and before Eichel had even turned
18, he had helped the Terriers to a 3-0-0 record from
his post as the team’s top line center and was averaging
two points per game.
“It’s been awesome,” Eichel said, a day after cel-
ebrating his official start of adulthood via a post-prac-
tice dinner with family.“For years, I kind of imagined
what it would be like to play at Agganis, and it was all
of that and more.”
