McInnis returns to Boston College as volunteer assistant coach

Boston College alum Marty McInnis has been named the new volunteer assistant coach for his alma mater.

McInnis played nearly 800 regular-season games in the NHL after recording 142 points in just three varsity seasons at BC, where he was a member of BC’s famous “HEM Line” with Steve Heinze and David Emma.

He played 12 seasons in the NHL as a member of the New York Islanders, Calgary Flames, Anaheim Ducks and Boston Bruins and totaled 420 points (170 goals and 250 assists) in 796 games.

McInnis, who retired from professional hockey following the 2002-03 season, was inducted into the Boston College Varsity Club Athletic Hall of Fame in 2012.
