Boston University’s Jack Parker turned down an offer to coach the Boston Bruins and will stay at the school he has led to two national championships over 24 years.
Parker, 52, cited the extra travel, the demands of an 82-game season compared to a 40-game schedule and the media glare as reasons for passing up what has been reported as a four-year, $2-million deal to coach the Bruins.

NHL spokesman Arthur Pincus said the league is reviewing a slashing incident that left New York Ranger forward Niklas Sundstrom with a broken left arm but that it will not have a decision until at least today.
The Rangers want John MacLean, the New Jersey Devils’ leading playoff scorer, suspended.
After being hooked around the shoulder and neck by Sundstrom late in the third period of Thursday’s Game 4 in the Eastern Conference semifinals, MacLean, a 14-year veteran, turned and swung his stick at the second-year player, hitting the arm in an unprotected area.
Sundstrom is scheduled to have a plate and screws placed in the arm today.
