After graduating from high school, Jack joined the Army Air Corps and then returned to the rink after WW II ended.

Following the Olympics, he entered Boston University in 1949, where he proceeded to smash the BU hockey and NCAA record books, while graduating from the four-year program in only 3 years.

Upon graduation, Jack became a teacher and the athletic director at the newly established Archbishop Williams High School in Braintree, where he taught for the next 11 years.

One of the players he started, Jack Leetch, later became an All American at BC, and his son, Brian, captained the 1988 US Olympic Team and later the New York Rangers.

In 1960, in preparation for the Squaw Valley Olympics, Jack was playing on a line with Bill and Bob Cleary, but unfortunately had to drop off the team for financial reasons, when he could not get a 3-month (teaching and coaching) leave of absence from Archbishop Williams.

Nevertheless, Jack cheered his friends and teammates on to their great Gold Medal victory from in front of his black and white television in Weymouth.

And yes, even as he got older, he still kept playing hockey for local teams such as the Moby Dicks, which won the 65-years-and-older Snoopy Tournament in Santa Rosa, California.

Later, over a period of 10 years he continued to travel extensively throughout Asia, in India, Thailand, Indonesia, Philippines, Cambodia, Vietnam, Japan and Korea, while visiting family and friends.
