The No. 1-seeded Boston College Eagles (26-7-2) men’s hockey team starts its run in the 2025 NCAA Tournament as it takes on the No. 4-seeded Bentley Falcons (23-14-2) in the first game of the Manchester Regional on Friday afternoon.
The Eagles will take the ice for the first time since March 15. In the team’s last outing, Boston College lost to Northeastern 3-1 in the Hockey East Quarterfinals.
The performance, however, did not impact the team’s seeding in the NCAA Tournament. Boston College earned the No. 1 overall seed for the event after a dominant regular season.
Bentley earned Atlantic Hockey America’s automatic bid into the tournament after it defeated Holy Cross 6-3 in the championship game on Saturday night.
The winner of the contest will play either Providence or Denver in the Regional final on Sunday.
