In men’s hockey, the Eagles are scheduled to begin their season at Conte Forum against the Alaska Nanooks. The team faces internal competition for the starting goaltender position between sophomore Louka Cloutier and freshman Leo Henriquez. As the 2026-27 regular season approaches, the No. 11 ranked Boston College men’s hockey team is set to host the Alaska Nanooks at Kelley Rink this Friday. The Eagles enter the season having been ranked in the preseason national polls for four consecutive years. In their season opener, the No. 11 ranked Eagles suffered a 3-2 loss to the Alaska Nanooks. Although Teddy Stiga provided an early power-play goal, the team was hindered by turnovers and eight penalties. In men’s basketball, first-year head coach Luke Murray has introduced a heavily overhauled roster consisting of 13 new players, including 11 transfers. The coaching staff is working to build connectivity among the new players as they aim to end the program’s NCAA Tournament drought. ## Timeline ### 2026-10-06: Boston College athletics prepare for new seasons in hockey and basketball Boston College men’s hockey begins its season against Alaska, while men’s basketball head coach Luke Murray introduces a rebuilt roster at the ACC Tipoff. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/boston-college-athletics-prepare-for-new-seasons-in-hockey-and-basketball ### 2026-09-24: Boston University and Boston College announce hockey captains Boston University and Boston College have announced their women’s and men’s ice hockey captains for the 2026-27 season. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/boston-university-and-boston-college-announce-hockey-captains --- Cite as: Boston College athletics seasonal preparations.
