2017–18 Boston College Eagles men's ice hockey season

The 2017–18 Boston College Eagles men's ice hockey team represented Boston College in the 2017–18 NCAA Division I men's ice hockey season. The team was coached by Jerry York, '67, his twenty-fourth season behind the bench at Boston College. The Eagles played their home games at Kelley Rink on the campus of Boston College, competing in Hockey East.
The Eagles competed in two mid-season tournaments during the 2017–18 season, the first of which took place during the holiday break, where the Eagles made the trip to the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada for the inaugural Ice Vegas Invitational on January 5 and 6. The Eagles fell 4–3 to the Michigan Tech Huskies in the opening round, and officially tied the Northern Michigan Wildcats in the consolation round by a score of 3–3, with the Wildcats winning the unofficial shootout to take third place. For their second tournament of the season, the Eagles played in the 66th Annual Beanpot Tournament at the TD Garden in Boston, Massachusetts on February 5 and 12. Boston College faced Northeastern in the opening round, losing 3–0, and fell 5–4 in overtime to Harvard in the consolation game, finishing fourth place for the second consecutive year. 
The Eagles finished the season 20-14-3, and 18-6-0 in conference play, winning the conference regular season title. They advanced to the Semifinals of the Hockey East tournament, where they were beaten by eventual champions Boston University. The Eagles, having failed to secure an auto-bid by virtue of winning the Hockey East tournament, did not attend the NCAA Tournament for the second straight year.
==Previous season recap==
The Eagles entered the 2017–18 season following a semi-disappointing year. While attaining a share of the Hockey East regular season title with their strong 21–15–4 record, they missed out on participating in the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2009 after falling in the Hockey East Tournament championship to UMass Lowell. Additionally, they failed to secure any mid-season tournament title, placing third in the Ice Breaker Tournament and Three Rivers Classic, and placing fourth in the Beanpot tournament.
