The Eagles played their home games at Kelley Rink on the campus of Boston College, competing in Hockey East.

The two teams played each other at Fenway Park on January 4 during the league's Frozen Fenway exhibit, where the Eagles topped the Irish in a 4–3 contest, and both teams played their final game of the season against each other at Kelley Rink on February 28, with the Irish winning 2–1 in overtime.

However, they did not advance far into the Hockey East tournament, losing the best-of-three quarterfinals to rival Notre Dame in three games, at home.

A victory over Hockey East foe UMass Lowell advanced the Eagles to the program's 24th Frozen Four (tying Michigan for most appearances), but would lose to the eventual champions, the Union Dutchmen in the semi-final.

McInnis played nearly 800 career games in the NHL and was inducted into the Boston College Varsity Club Athletic Hall of Fame in 2012.

In July, Connor McGlynn, who previously committed to joining Boston College in the fall of the 2013–14 season, signed with the Kingston Frontenacs of the OHL.
