Boston University announces coaching promotions for O’Connell, Young

Boston University announced Wednesday that Albie O’Connell will be the program’s associate head coach and director of hockey operations Scott Young will now serve as an assistant coach.

“It’s great to have two guys working here who love BU the way they do,” BU head coach David Quinn said in a news release. “This university has been a big part of their lives and I know they will make a very positive impact on our student-athletes in all aspects of life.”

Both O’Connell and Young were BU standouts as well.

O’Connell captained the 1998-99 Terriers team and Young went on to a 17-year NHL career, winning Stanley Cups in Pittsburgh and Colorado.
