Jack Garrity was an All-Eastern and All-American hockey
player, at the time setting a school and national record scoring
84 points in his two years as a varsity player. He also served
on the U.S. Olympic team in 1948 while a freshman at BU.
He accomplished this on top of graduating a four-year course
in three years and being married with two children. Pretty
impressive.
Garrity was a three-sport athlete at Medford H.S., excelling
in hockey, baseball and football. After high school he served
in the Army during World War II before matriculating to BU
in 1948.
He set the scoring record his sophomore and junior seasons,
as at the time, freshmen were not permitted to play on the
varsity. He led the Terriers to the finals of the NCAA championships
as a sophomore.
