Boston University Terriers

Drury’s Hobey Baker campaign included 28 goals and 29 assists averaging 1.5 points per game. The senior captain was named First Team All-America for the second consecutive season, the Hockey East Player of the Year for the second consecutive season, the Hockey East Defensive Player of the Year and to the All-Hockey East Team for the third consecutive season. The all-time leading goal scorer at BU with 116, Drury was the first Terrier to capture the Hobey. Drury went from college right to the NHL where he spent his entire career with four teams.  He began with the team who drafted him, the Colorado Avalanche, and was named the 1999 NHL Rookie of the Year.   After a four-year stint with the Avs, Drury played one season in Calgary, three seasons in Buffalo and completed his fourth season with the New York Rangers in 2010-11 – a season limited due to injury and retired this past August.  In 12 NHL seasons, Drury scored 20 or more goals on nine occasions.
