from USCHO,

After 40 seasons, Boston University coach Jack Parker said he is leaving the program on his own terms.

This season will be his last, Parker announced at a news conference Monday, one day after the news broke.

“It’s been a great run,” Parker said Monday, his 68th birthday. “I’ve had a great time doing it.”

Parker is in his 40th season as head coach at his alma mater. He has an 894-471-115 career record and won national championships in 1978, 1995 and 2009.

Battling For 47 Years

from Neal E. Boudette of the Wall Street Journal,

On New Year’s Eve in 1962, Jack Parker and Jerry York lined up against each other in a high-school ice-hockey game—and started a rivalry that has become one of the most extraordinary in college sports.

After high school, Mr. Parker played at Boston University and Mr. York at Boston College. Mr. Parker later became the coach at BU, and Mr. York at BC.

Now, after nearly half a century of going toe-to-toe, each man’s success is unexcelled—and they are still fierce competitors. Mr. York has accumulated more wins—827—than any other active college coach. Mr. Parker is only seven wins behind him.
