The Eagles have their sights set on getting back to the national championship game after coming one win short last season. Led by future NHLers Ryan Leonard and Gabe Perreault, BC is also trying to advance to the Beanpot final for the first time since losing to Northeastern in 2019.

The Boston College Eagles men’s hockey team is getting ready to compete in the 72nd annual Beanpot starting on Monday. The Eagles will be joined by the Northeastern Huskies, the Boston University Terriers, and the Harvard Crimson in the multi-day event at TD Garden in Boston.

Northeastern will look to three-peat as it won the event in 2023 and 2024 while Boston College will look to win its first Beanpot since 2016. The two teams are knotted at one game apiece in the head-to-head matchup this season.
