Boston College Eagles men's ice hockey seasons « 2013–14 2015–16 » | |
The 2014–15 Boston College Eagles men's ice hockey team represented Boston College in the 2014–15 NCAA Division I men's ice hockey season. The team was coached by Jerry York, '67, his twenty-first season behind the bench at Boston College. The Eagles played their home games at Kelley Rink on the campus of Boston College, competing in Hockey East.
The Eagles competed in two tournaments during the 2014–15 season. On January 2–3, the Eagles earned a trophy at the Ledyard Bank Classic, also known as the Dartmouth Showcase Tournament, hosted by Dartmouth College. Because the tournament was not bracketed (i.e. the winners of the first games did not face each other in a championship match), the Eagles won by virtue of points earned; they won both of their games, as Denver and Brown both won one and tied the other, and as host Dartmouth lost both of their games. On February 3 and 23, the Eagles played in the 63rd Annual Beanpot Tournament at the TD Garden in Boston, Massachusetts, losing to Northeastern by a score of 3–2 in the first round and winning the consolation game over Harvard 3–2 in OT, the first time since 2008 that the Eagles did not win the Beanpot tournament.
The Eagles finished 21–14–3, and 12–7–3 in conference play, good for the 3rd seed and a first-round bye entering the 2015 Hockey East tournament. However, they would lose to the Vermont Catamounts during the best-of-three quarterfinals in three games at home, marking the second year in a row in which the Eagles did not advance to at least the semifinals. The Eagles qualified for the 2015 NCAA tournament and were placed in the east regional at Providence. They lost to Denver 5–2 in the first round.
Previous season recap
The Eagles entered the 2014–15 season following a Frozen Four loss to Union College in the NCAA Tournament, and a quarterfinals loss to Notre Dame in the Hockey East Tournament. The Eagles did capture three trophies during the 2013–14 season, finishing with a strong 28–8–4 record and 16–2–2 in conference play, good for the Hockey East regular season title, as well as their fifth consecutive Beanpot championship in a 4–1 win over Northeastern. Junior Johnny Gaudreau won numerous accolades including the 2014 Hobey Baker Award after a fantastic league-leading 36 goal, 44 assist, 80 point season. He chose to forgo his senior year of eligibility to enter the NHL with the Calgary Flames.
