Davenport was a standout for the men’s ice hockey team from 1967-70, totaling 154 career points (67g, 87a), which currently ranks 15th all-time in Boston University history. His goal and assist totals put him in a tie for 18th and 20th, respectively, in the program’s record book.
In 84 career games, Davenport averaged 1.83 points per game, which ranks among the all-time best at BU. Davenport also won the E. Ray Speare award in 1970, given annually to BU’s top male student-athlete.
After leading the freshman squad with 45 points (21g, 25a) in 1966-67, Davenport broke out onto the scene as a varsity rookie in 1967-68, registering 59 points, including a team-best 24 goals. He set a school record that season with a six-assist performance in a win over New Brunswick.
As a junior, Davenport once again led the Terriers in goals, finding the back of the net 23 times on the strength of three hat tricks as part of a 45-point season.
Davenport was team MVP and captain his senior year, helping the Terriers post a 20-7 record and capture the Beanpot title. He finished the year with 50 points on 20 goals and 30 assists and was named to the ECAC All-Tournament Team.
