The Boston Globe reports that Boston College coach Len Ceglarski,
college hockey's all-time winningest coach with 645 victories, is
all set to announce his retirement effective at the end of this
season. Steve Cedorchuk would move up from assistant to head coach;
Cedorchuk has also been involved in many of the US's international
hockey ventures over the years from juniors to the 1988 Olympics.
Supposedly Ceglarski does not want to make this announcement right
away because he doesn't want all the attention that would come
with passing through each HE rink for the last time.
If Ceglarski does retire along with Lowell coach Bill Riley at the
end of this season, it will mean that four of the eight Hockey East
teams will have had a change in leadership since 1989 (the other
teams being Northeastern and New Hampshire). It would have been
five had BU coach Jack Parker not decided to return two weeks after
accepting the AD job in 1989.
