Boston College Men’s Hockey is #1 in the Nation Heading Into Winter Break

No slow start for these freshmen

On Monday afternoon, the USCHO released their weekly national poll of DI men’s college hockey, and the Boston College Eagles found themselves back at #1 in the nation for the third stint this season. BC had a huge win against Providence on Saturday in which they blew a 2-0 lead but came back to win in the third period, 5-4. The win helped launch them to the top spot after North Dakota got swept by Colorado College over the weekend, dropping them to #4.

Looking around Hockey East, there is no shortage of tough competition. Boston University has climbed their way back up the poll to #2, just behind BC, marking the first time ever these two archrivals have held the top-2 spots in the USCHO poll since it started in 1996. BU has been red hot since their early season struggles and have now won 7 of their last 9 games, including a sweep of Merrimack this weekend. Maine and Providence are also in the top-10, with the Black Bears at #8 and the Friars at #10. With 4 teams in the top-10, Hockey East is having a very strong year and looks like they’ll be in a good position when NCAA tournament time rolls around. But of course that means a more difficult path for Boston College.

BC now enters their winter break. They will host an exhibition game against Simon Fraser on January 6th, then get back to action with a full home-and-home series against Providence on January 12th and 13th.
