2017–18 Yale Bulldogs men's ice hockey season

The 2017–18 Yale Bulldogs Men's ice hockey season was the 123rd season of play for the program and the 57th season in the ECAC Hockey conference. The Bulldogs represented Yale University and were coached by Keith Allain, in his 12th season.
==Season==
Yale played up and down all season long, hovering around the .500 mark. Redshirt sophomore Corbin Kaczperski got some playing time in goal at the end of Yale's 5-game losing streak and the team began to rotate their goaltenders thereafter. The team showed modest improvement as the season went along and entered the conference tournament with a home date in the first round. Unfortunately, the team faltered against Quinnipiac and lost both of their postseason games.
