Boston University coach Jack Parker is expected to announce his retirement at a news conference Monday, according to reports.<\/p>\n
The news, first reported by ESPN’s John Buccigross on Twitter<\/a>, comes as the Terriers enter the Hockey East playoffs.<\/p>\n Parker is in his 40th season as head coach at his alma mater. He has an 894-471-115 career record and won national championships in 1978, 1995 and 2009.<\/p>\n The school called a news conference for 3 p.m. EDT Monday at Agganis Arena, where the rink is named for Parker, who will turn 68 on Monday.<\/p>\n Parker ranks third on the all-time coaching wins list<\/a>, but he has been through his share of turmoil.<\/p>\n Last September, a school task force found a “celebrity culture” existed<\/a> among BU men’s hockey players, and its report called for the elimination of the executive athletic director position that Parker held.<\/p>\n That task force was assembled after two Terriers players were charged with sexual assault. Corey Trivino pleaded guilty<\/a>, while charges against Max Nicastro were dropped<\/a>. Both players were dismissed from the program.<\/p>\n
