Boston University Head Coach Jay Pandolfo was voted 2022-23 Hockey East Coach of the Year by his peers.

Pandolfo is the second consecutive first-year head coach to win the Bob Kullen Award presented by Bauer, following Jerry Keefe. Keefe was the first since Dick Umile did so in his first year as a bench boss in 1990-91 with New Hampshire, after taking over for the late Bob Kullen. Pandolfo guided the Terriers to their 11th Hockey East regular season crown and their first outright title win since 2014-15. They posted an 18-6-0 record in league play and no team has won more games in Hockey East since 2011-12. Pandolfo’s team scored 99 goals in just 24 league games, the most of any team, while operating the third-best power-play in the conference with a 19.6% conversion rate. Pandolfo has led his alma mater back to the Hockey East semifinals at TD Garden for the 25th time in program history. He is just the second BU boss to be voted Coach of the Year by his peers since 2005-06 (David Quinn, 2014-15).
