Boston University men’s hockey defenseman Garrett Noonan will return to the Terriers for his senior season, the junior told WTBU Sports on Monday night.

The 22-year-old said his main goal is to win a championship.

He was drafted by Nashville in the fourth round of the 2011 NHL Entry Draft and has accrued 61 points (26g, 35a) over three years and 110 games at BU.

As a sophomore in 2011-12, Noonan was tied for first in the nation in goal scoring amongst defensemen. He finished that year with 16 goals and 27 points.

This season, the Norfolk, Mass. native tallied 19 points and was named an assistant captain after the first half of the 2012-13 season.

He missed the Hockey East Quarterfinals with a separated shoulder but returned for the Hockey East Semifinals, where he tallied BU’s go-ahead goal in the second period en route to a 5-3 comeback win over BC.

The junior also missed two games after he was suspended for spearing UMass-Lowell’s Doug Carr.
