BU used to announce a "Most Honored Opponent" award (selected by the
players) at its annual banquet.  Do they still do this?  What other
programs do this?
 
I remember at the UNH banquet following the 1979 season (I think), it was
announced that Bob Gould had been honored by BU that year. I think it is a
great thing, and am curious whether other schools do this. It's something
I'd like to see UNH do in the future.
 
My choice for UNH would be a tie between Chris Drury and Brian Gionta.
