Week of 5 November 1999 Vol. III, No. 13 Feature Article Travis Roy (COM'00) on October 30 became the first BU hockey player ever to have his number retired. The red and white banner with his number, 24, was raised to the rafters of Walter Brown Arena before the Terriers defeated Providence, 3-2. At left is his father, Lee. Coach Jack Parker then showed the 3,732 spectators Roy's framed jersey before presenting it to him. Roy, waving to the crowd, has regained partial use of his right arm after a paralyzing neck injury, which occurred 11 seconds into his first college game four years ago. Photo by Albert L'Etoile
