The 2011–12 Boston College Eagles men's ice hockey team represents Boston College in the 2011–12 NCAA Division I men's ice hockey season. The team is coached by Jerry York, '67, his eighteenth season behind the bench at Boston College. The Eagles play their home games at Kelley Rink on the campus of Boston College, competing in Hockey East.

Boston College enters the 2011-2012 season as reigning Hockey East tournament champions, having defeated Merrimack 5-3 in the championship game, as well as defending Beanpot champions, beating Northeastern in the final 7-6 in overtime. The Eagles also won the 2010-11 Hockey East regular season championship, their first since 2004-05.

In addition to the annual Beanpot Tournament in Boston, the Eagles will also be participating in two other in-season tournaments, the Ice Breaker in Grand Forks, ND and the Great Lakes Invitational in Detroit, MI. BC won the 2011 Ice Breaker Tournament by defeating Michigan State 5-2 in the first round, and then beating North Dakota in the championship game, 6-2. Air Force also participated. At the end of December, BC will compete in the Great Lakes Invitational alongside Michigan, Michigan State, and Michigan Tech.

On November 3, it was announced that the Eagles will play Northeastern at Fenway Park on January 14 in Hockey East play. BC will be the home team as the game was originally scheduled to be played at Kelley Rink. The contest will be a part of a double-header, with a game between MIAA-rivals Boston College High School and Catholic Memorial slated for earlier in the day.[1]
