When Harry Cleverly discovered Bob playing high school hockey
on Canadian ice he was impressed by his speed, skating and
scoring ability.
In his three years on Varsity at Boston University, he managed
to score 98 goals (which remains a record as one of the top
number of goals in a career) and rake in 164 points. He was
selected on the All-America Teams as a sophomore and junior.
In his senior year, Bob led the Terriers to third place in
the NCAA championship. Despite the fact that he was the top
scorer he was overlooked as a first string All-American, which
caused great controversy.
When Bob graduated in 1960 he passed up an opportunity to
join the National Hockey League to work with General Electric.
