Narrative:

While parked and stopped at gate at the boston airport, one of the maintenance men advised me that the jetway had struck the aircraft's left engine. It is my understanding this occurred while the jetway was in motion and definitely after I was stopped and parked, maintenance also stated I followed the hand signals given to me properly and this event was not caused by my actions. Supplemental information from acn 2566151: jetway struck #1 engine punching about a 4 inch by 4 inch hole in top of anti-ice intake. Captain was told that jetway was not in proper location. Raining and dark at time of incident.
