Boston College pays big for its hockey success

Hockey is serious business at Boston College, whose new federal income tax return shows exactly how serious.

Veteran men’s hockey coach Jerry York – who has won five NCAA titles and is college hockey’s all-time wins leader – was credited with nearly $1.25 million in total compensation during the 2014 calendar year, including the payout of a longstanding deferred compensation plan that likely was worth more than $600,000.

York’s total compensation made him BC’s second-highest-paid employee in 2014, behind football coach Steve Addazio, who was credited with a little more than $2.3 million.
