Win over No. 4 North Dakota is 700th for York
By Chris Brablc / Heights StaffIn the midst of the NHL lockout, college hockey has taken center stage. Friday night, top five teams Boston College and North Dakota proved that college hockey can fill in admirably for the NHL as the nation's hockey fix. But, above all the teams, players, and fans, one man stood alone in the spotlight on Friday.
Friday night's game marked York's 700th win, making him only the third coach to reach that plateau. This is just another milestone in his storied coaching career.
After an amazing collegiate career at BC that ended in All-American first team honors, York received his first coaching position at BC as a graduate assistant to legendary coach John "Snooks" Kelley. After two years at BC, York became an assistant at Clarkson under another coaching legend, Len Ceglarski.
