A standout in the collegiate, professional and international ranks, Shawn McEachern was a first-team All-American for the men's ice hockey program in 1990-91. He was a finalist for the Hobey Baker Award that season after putting up 82 points — the second-highest single-season total in BU history at the time of his induction.

The following year, he joined the Pittsburgh Penguins of the NHL and was also a member of the U.S. National Team for the 1992 Olympic Winter Games in Albertville, France, before helping the Penguins capture the 1992 Stanley Cup title.

McEachern finished his BU career with 186 points in three seasons, at the time good for sixth all-time, and he retired from the NHL following the 2005-06 season.
