The Watertown native got his 925th win Saturday against Alabama-Huntsville.
Boston College hockey coach Jerry York added another acclaim to his list of accomplishments Saturday night when the Watertown native became the winningest college hockey coach, ever. The Eagles' 5-2 win over Alabama-Huntsville, in a game played in Minneapolis, gave York his 925th coaching victory and eclipsed the previous record holder, former Michigan State coach Ron Mason. After the game, York told the Boston Globe that his focus is on his team, not the record. “Maybe when I sit down on some porch in 10 years thinking about it,’’ York told the Globe. “I’ve always been about team. When I was a player, I was like that. As a coach, I’ve been like that, so I haven’t really sought individual goals." The 67-year-old York is 925-558-95 in 41 …

The Raiders defeated Newton South, 3-2, and moved a step closer to the tournament.
No Jim Mora, Watertown boys hockey coach John Campbell is not kidding when he talks about about the playoffs. With the season more than half completed, Campbell knows his team needs to step up if they want to make the postseason. The Raiders did not disappoint their coach Wednesday night defeating Newton South, 3-2, at John A. Ryan Arena in Watertown. “It was a big game for us,” Campbell said. “We were 5-5-3 going into the game.
