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

Boston College faced Northeastern in the opening round, losing 3–0, and fell 5–4 in overtime to Harvard in the consolation game, finishing fourth place for the second consecutive year.

They advanced to the Semifinals of the Hockey East tournament, where they were beaten by eventual champions Boston University.
