From the FreeP: Jack Parker calls out BC, Maine for diving

By Kevin Dillon/DFP Staff

Following Saturday’s 5–2 loss to then-No. 1 Boston College, No. 7 Boston University men’s hockey coach Jack Parker said he thought his team was “frustrated” at some of the calls that went against them and some of the calls that did not go against the Eagles.

Parker was particularly upset about a few specific calls relating to diving rules, so he took his complaints to Hockey East Chief Observer Dick DeCaprio.

“It’s too late to affect the way it happened last game, but I think it will affect the way it will happen in the future,” Parker said.

One of the calls Parker did not agree with this weekend involved former BU forward Yasin Cissé, who left the team Tuesday, and BC forward Steven Whitney. At the end of the first period, Cissé was called for interfering with Whitney off a faceoff, which led to a BC power-play goal early in the second frame.
