Jerry York Of Boston College With Career Win 1000

from Kevin Paul Dupont of the Boston Globe,

Win No. 1,000 came gift-wrapped with a Bay State bow. Jerry York, proud son of Watertown, walked out of Mullins Center Friday night with his BC Eagles owners of an 8-0 shellacking of the UMass Minutemen, and his career résumé reading 1,000-595-108.

Finally, four figures in the win column. No college hockey coach has won more games than York, the 70-year-old former Eagles center. And perhaps no college coach anywhere ever reached such a significant milestone — a feat unlikely to be duplicated — with such a subdued, understated demeanor.

“We’ve always talked about leaving our ego at the door, when you walk in [the dressing room] you’re now a part of a family of BC hockey players,’’ said York, after seeing eight goal scorers execute the beatdown before a crowd of 4,673. “If I was to make a big deal of, ‘Let’s work really hard to get this one,’ it wouldn’t make any sense.

“I really stayed away from that.’’
