The No. 1 Boston College Eagles (19-4-1, 12-3-1 HE) men’s hockey team starts its run in the 2025 Beanpot as it takes on the Northeastern Huskies (9-12-3, 4-9-3 HE) in the semifinals on Monday night at TD Garden in Boston.

Eight players tallied goals for BC, including Ryan Leonard’s NCAA best 23rd, while goalie Jacob Fowler recorded 28 saves.

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 No. 1 Boston College Eagles men’s hockey team defeated the Northeastern Huskies 8-2 in the 2025 Beanpot semifinals on Monday night at TD Garden in Boston. The explosive offensive performance not only marked the most goals scored by Boston College in its 2024-25 campaign, but also was the largest margin of victory for the team this season.

Monday night is the start of the 72nd Beanpot Tournament in Boston, when BC will take on Northeastern and NU will play Harvard at TD Garden. Northeastern has won two straight and five of the last six.
