Neely headlines Lester Patrick recipients

Hockey Betting Lines

09/02/2010 - New York, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Former Boston Bruin great Cam Neely was among four recipients of the 2010 Lester Patrick Trophy named Thursday.

Also presented with the award were college coaches Jack Parker and Jerry York and American Hockey League president David Andrews. The trophy is awarded to those who have shown outstanding service to hockey in the United States.

Neely, one of the most prolific power forwards in the history of the sport, scored 395 goals and had 299 assists over 726 regular-season games, the bulk of which were spent with the Bruins. He added another 57 goals in 93 playoff tilts.

He recorded three 50-goal seasons, including in 1993-94 when he played just 49 games due to injury.

Neely retired following the 1995-96 season and had his No. 8 jersey retired by the Bruins. After being voted into the Hall of Fame in 2005, he joined the Bruins front office as vice president and was named team president this past June.

Parker won three straight Beanpot Tournaments with Boston University from 1966-68 and has been the coach at the school since 1973. As a coach, he has guided the Terriers to three national championships (1978, 1995 and 2009) and is one of three coaches in NCAA history to reach the 800-win plateau. He is the only one, though, to have done it at one school.

York coached at Clarkson and Bowling Green before returning to his alma mater at Boston College in 1994. Since coming to the Eagles, he has guided the team to three national championships, including the 2010 title. His 850 career victories is second all-time to Ron Mason's 924. He also took Bowling Green to an NCAA title in 1984.

Andrews has been president of the AHL since 1994 during which time the league has experienced a wealth of expansion and growth. He was instrumental in bringing all 30 NHL teams' top developmental affiliates under the AHL umbrella and in 2001 led one of the largest expansion efforts ever in professional sports, bringing nine new cities into the fold, including six from the former International Hockey League.

The enterprise expanded the league beyond its traditional Atlantic seaboard borders to locations such as Chicago, Toronto, Cleveland, Houston, San Antonio, Winnipeg and Milwaukee. The league is scheduled to further expand in 2010-11 to Charlotte and Oklahoma City.
