2 BOSTON UNIVERSITY MEN S ICE HOCKEY terriers and the olympics Terriers at the Olympic Games When hockey fans think of the Olympic Games and Boston University s involvement, their thoughts automatically turn to 1980 and Lake Placid, N.Y., where four former Terriers served as catalysts for the U.S. team that won the gold medal. The memory of Mike Eruzione, Jim Craig, Jack O Callahan and Dave Silk embracing each other after the gold medal game will forever be engraved in our memories. However, Terriers have been involved in Olympic hockey competition dating back to While Jesse Owens was drawing international attention on the track, two former Terriers were winning a bronze medal in hockey. Below is a list of former Terriers who were involved in Olympic competition, including those who participated for the Canadian, Japanese, Dutch and Italian Olympic Teams.
