Jerry York, a native of Watertown, Mass., guided the Falcon hockey program to the NCAA championship in 1984. The winningest coach in BGSU hockey history, he compiled a 342-248-31 record during his 15-year tenure with the Brown and Orange, for a winning percentage of .576.

York, currently (as of the 2011-12 season) the head coach of his alma mater, Boston College, also won a national title with the Eagles in 2001. He is one of only two coaches in NCAA history to lead two different schools to national titles.

While at BGSU, York coached 10 players who earned first-team All-American honors, and saw four of his Falcon players earn Academic All-American recognition. He coached Hobey Baker Memorial Award winner George McPhee in 1982 and had three other BGSU players earn spots among the finalists for college hockey's top honor. A total of 23 different BG players earned first- or second-team All-CCHA recognition under his direction, and a total of 41 of his Falcons were drafted by National Hockey League organizations.

Jerry York was inducted to the BGSU Athletic Hall of Fame in 2003.
