Marc McLaughlin did not forget where he came from upon joining the Boston Bruins, as the Billerica, Mass., native was full of praise and admiration for his college head coach -- Boston College legend Jerry York -- amid his NHL call-up.
And when York announced his retirement Wednesday, McLaughlin was right there with more words of gratitude for the college hockey constant.
"Could not have asked for a better coach and role model over the past 4 years," McLaughlin wrote on Twitter. "Honored to have played for Coach York!! Congrats on a legendary career!!"
York has served as the Eagles' head coach for 28 seasons and has 50 collegiate seasons under his belt. The 75-year-old, a Boston College alumnus, steps away as the winningest head coach in NCAA hockey history.
