BOSTON — Jerry York exited college hockey on his terms and with a minimum of fanfare.
York, 76, announced on Wednesday that he is stepping down as men’s hockey coach at Boston College after 28 seasons behind the Eagles’ bench and 50 overall with three Division I programs. York first told BC athletic director Patrick Kraft, then informed his staff at a morning meeting and his players in the afternoon.
“It was a whirlwind two days,” York told the Boston Herald. “That was kind of neat leaving (on my terms), but the hardest part was that it affects a lot of people and I didn’t expect to get emotional but I kind of did.
