A sampling of comments on Men’s Hockey Coach Jerry York’s 900th career victory last month, making him only the second coach in NCAA history to achieve the milestone.
“Jerry York’s lengthy list of career milestones had the BC coach as a lock to go down as one of the greatest bench bosses in NCAA history long before the calendar turned to February. But what York and the Eagles have accomplished so far this month has only enhanced his already astounding legacy.”

“Congrats to BC coach Jerry York on his 900th win tonight. An incredible milestone.”

“Just wanted to tell you, as an alum, that you’re one of the great figures in the history of our school, and thank you for everything you’ve done.”

“Holy smokes, 900 wins. At the rate I’m going, I’ll be about 275 years old by the time I get 900 wins. He’s done it at Bowling Green, he’s done it at Clarkson, and what he’s done here is pretty well documented. He deserves a lot of credit.”
