The nice thing about this thread is that it makes 60 year old me feel young.

We don't know if Ceglarski could have succeeded without scholarships, but my goodness what a run of great coaching that would have been.  Ceglarski coached until 1992.

Succeeded at Clarkson by Jerry York, also BC grad, who then took over over from Ceglarski at BC in the 1990s (15-year stop in between at Bowling Green), now 76 (same age as Coach K), 1100+ victories, 5 NCAA titles.

Those two also coached without international players for the most part. BC has been all American (decades back) and even now, this year, the roster shows just 3 from Canada.

Helps that the Boston area has terrific high school hockey and is very Catholic.

Actually, York didn't take over from Ceglarski ... He was passed over in favor of the illustrious Steve Cedorchuk, whose rein ended badly. It didn't start too well either. ... That was followed by the equally disastrous tenure of Mike Milbury, who didn't even last until the start of the season when he decided to quit because of realizing how disastrous Cedorchuk left things.

BC finally decided to get it right -- 3rd time's a charm -- in 1994 with the hiring of York. The rest is history.
