The Boston College Eagles are a Division I college hockey program that represent Boston College in Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts. The team has competed in Hockey East since 1984, having previously played in the ECAC. The Eagles have won five national championships, the most recent coming in 2012. Home games have been played at Kelley Rink, named after coach John "Snooks" Kelley, since 1988, having previously played at McHugh Forum. The Eagles are coached by former Eagles forward Jerry York, who has won the most games of any head coach in NCAA hockey history, having surpassed Ron Mason's 924th win on December 29, 2012. York is an alum of Boston College, a member of the class of 1967.

Boston College is among the top college hockey programs in the country. Beginning with legendary coach John "Snooks" Kelley, who led the Eagles to their first national championship in 1949, Boston College has established itself as a perennial powerhouse in both regular season and post-season play. Former coach Len Ceglarski and current coach Jerry York, both Boston College alums, continue to build upon the success began by Kelley. Both York and Ceglarski have at least 500 career wins. York to date has 984 career wins, which is first all-time and is first among all active coaches.

To date, BC has won thirteen conference tournament titles, including eleven Hockey East titles, a conference record. Their most recent triumph in 2012 came after beating Maine 4-1 in the championship game.

Boston College has made thirty-five NCAA tournament appearances, reaching the tournament's Frozen Four an NCAA record twenty-five times.

Under John "Snooks" Kelley, BC advanced to the NCAA tournament three straight years from 1948-1950 (when the field was only four teams), winning the National Championship in 1949 after defeating Dartmouth 4-3 in Colorado Springs, CO.
