Feb. 20—The 50th episode of
The CCHA Reporter's Corner
takes a bit of a detour this week.
With busy schedules on the docket, co-hosts Jared Rubado and Trent Singer went outside the conference to talk with a legend of college hockey, inviting in longtime Boston University hockey broadcaster Bernie Corbett.
For 41 years, Corbett has been the play-by-play voice for the Terriers. A 1983 graduate of BU, Corbett is also the host of a SIRIUS/XM NHL Radio show called Hockey On Campus, and just last weekend, Corbett was honored with Bernie Bobblehead Night at Agganis Arena in Boston.
In this episode, Corbett talks about his early days of watching BU hockey before he got into broadcasting in college.
Corbett then takes the co-hosts down memory road, recapping what it was like to watch the Terriers win the program's fourth national title in 1995. He also talks about BU's 2009 run to a national championship, the third in which Hall of Fame coach Jack Parker led the program to college hockey's pinnacle.
A man full of stories, Corbett discusses his favorite memories of the annual Beanpot tournament, including the infamous Blizzard of 1978 when several hundred fans were stuck at the Boston Garden for several days.
Of course, it wouldn't be fitting if Corbett didn't get the opportunity to talk about his passions outside of hockey. The longtime broadcaster has co-authored more than a dozen books on various different topics, including his all-time favorite band, The Rolling Stones. Corbett talks about how fulfilling the process was to get to explore the roots of his favorite band.
