He was additionally given his third All-American honor, becoming just the third NCAA player to earn the distinction as many times, after Rick Meagher (1977) and Chris Drury (1998).

1984

Matthew J. Gilroy (born July 20, 1984) is an American former professional ice hockey defenseman who last played for the SC Rapperswil-Jona Lakers of the National League (NL).

Gilroy played in National Hockey League (NHL) with the New York Rangers, Tampa Bay Lightning, Ottawa Senators and the Florida Panthers.

1998

Gilroy played in the 1998 Quebec International Pee-Wee Hockey Tournament with the New Jersey Devils minor ice hockey team.

2003

He graduated in 2003 from St. Mary's High School in Manhasset, captaining the hockey team to two New York state championships.

In addition to hockey, Gilroy played lacrosse at St. Mary's and was named team MVP in his junior year, in addition to all-league selections in his junior and senior years.

Gilroy wears the number 97 in remembrance of his deceased brother Timmy, who died as the result of a bicycle accident at eight years old.

Separated by 13 months, Matt and Timmy played on the same hockey teams growing up and wore the numbers 98 and 97, respectively, in homage to Wayne Gretzky.

Traditional team policy with the Boston University Terriers does not permit players to wear high numbers deemed flamboyant and self-endorsing by Head Coach Jack Parker.

However, given the circumstances, Gilroy was allowed by Parker to wear 97.

Gilroy also has an older brother, Frank Jr., who played basketball for St. Mary's High School and St. Anselm College.

2005

He later played junior ice hockey in the Eastern Junior Hockey League (EJHL) with the Walpole Jr. Stars (currently known as South Shore Kings), Gilroy joined the college hockey ranks with Boston University of Hockey East in 2005–06.

Making the team as a walk-on, he was a natural forward but was forced into the eighth defenseman position, the only available role on the team.

After his third college season, Gilroy attracted attention from the NHL as an undrafted free agent, but had intentions of completing his degree at Boston University.

2008

In his senior year, in 2008–09, he was named team captain of the Terriers and recorded a college career-high 36 points in 43 games, first among Hockey East defensemen and third in the NCAA.

He went on to lead the Terriers to their third Beanpot championship in four years en route to the Frozen Four Tournament.

2009

On April 10, 2009, Gilroy was announced as the winner of the 2009 Hobey Baker Award.

The next day, the Terriers competed for the NCAA championship against the Miami RedHawks.

Trailing 3–1 late in the third period, the Terriers rallied with two goals in the final minute to force overtime.

Gilroy earned an assist on Nick Bonino's game-tying goal with 17 seconds left.

The Terriers won in overtime, defeating the RedHawks 4–3, making Gilroy just the fifth player to win the Hobey Baker Award and NCAA championship in the same season.

On April 17, 2009, Gilroy signed a two-year, $3.5-million contract with the New York Rangers.
