Arguably the best goaltender in the storied history of Boston University men's hockey, John Curry ('07) rewrote the record books during his stellar career and graduated with the program records for career goals-against average (2.07) and career save percentage (.923). He joined the team as a recruited walk-on, and after getting his first start early in his sophomore season, he never relinquished the role.

Curry backstopped the Terriers to the 2006 Hockey East title and was named the 2007 Hockey East Player of the Year after a dominant season between the pipes that saw him become one of the 10 finalists for the Hobey Baker Award. He was one of the best performers in the history of the Beanpot, going 5-0 in the tournament while leading the Terriers to three straight titles.

Curry was a two-time All-American, including a first-team nod in 2007, and signed a free-agent deal with the Pittsburgh Penguins following graduation. The Shorewood, Minn., native earned a win in his NHL debut on Nov. 26, 2008, and spent four seasons within the Penguins organization. Curry played a year in Germany, which concluded with a spot on Team USA's squad at the 2012 World Championships, and returned to the NHL in exciting fashion by coming home to play for the Minnesota Wild.
