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

In February, Parker suspended defenseman Alexx Privitera<\/a> for the rest of the season, citing “on-ice discipline problems.”<\/p>\n

Behind the bench, Parker is one of the most accomplished coaches in college hockey history. He trails only Jerry York and Ron Mason on the all-time wins list.<\/p>\n

Along with his three national championships, he has won 11 conference titles — four in the ECAC, seven in Hockey East — and led the Terriers to 21 Beanpot crowns.<\/p>\n

A three-time winner of the Spencer Penrose Award as the top coach in Division I men’s hockey, Parker was in 2010 given the NHL’s Lester Patrick Award for outstanding service to hockey in the United States.<\/p>\n

Parker played center for the Terriers from 1966 to 1968, then went right into coaching after graduation. After a year at Medford (Mass.) High School, he joined Boston University as an assistant coach and then the B-team coach.<\/p>\n

He took over the top position on Dec. 21, 1973.<\/p>\n

The Terriers tied for third place in Hockey East this season and will host Merrimack in the first round of the league playoffs. They are a bubble team in the race for at-large spots to the NCAA tournament.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
