Boston College Eagles men's ice hockey seasons
« 2019–20 2021–22 »

The 2020–21 Boston College Eagles men's ice hockey team represents Boston College in the 2020–21 NCAA Division I men's ice hockey season. The team is coached by Jerry York, '67, his twenty-seventh 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.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, no out-of-conference games were scheduled for the regular season, nor any traditional mid-season tournaments. As a result, the Eagles will not compete in any tournaments, including the annual Beanpot championship, which would have been in its 69th year of competition.


Previous season recap

The Eagles entered the 2020–21 season following a strong 2019–20 effort. With a 24–8–2 record, going 17–6–1 in conference play, the Eagles finished first in Hockey East and captured their 20th regular season title; rebounding from a 7th place finish in the previous year. However, that would be the only post-season trophy possible to earn, as both the Hockey East and NCAA tournaments were cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic before any games were played. The Eagles were a likely NCAA tournament qualifier which would have ended a three-year drought from the nationals. Additionally, they failed to secure any mid-season tournament title, their only tournament result being their third-place Beanpot finish.
