Boston College Eagles men's ice hockey seasons
« 2015–16 2017–18 »

The 2016–17 Boston College Eagles men's ice hockey team represents Boston College in the 2016–17 NCAA Division I men's ice hockey season. The team is coached by Jerry York, '67, his twenty-third 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.

The Eagles will compete in three tournaments during the 2016–17 season, the first of which took place during the traditional opening of the college hockey season at the 20th annual Ice Breaker Classic. Played on October 7 and 8 at Magness Arena in Denver, Colorado, the tournament showcased the Eagles playing Air Force in the first round, where they would lose a tight 2-1 match. Boston College faced host Denver in the consolation round, picking up a 3-1 victory for their first win of the season. Air Force would defeat Ohio State in the championship. The Eagles had previously won the ice breaker tournament three times; making their fifth appearance this season. The second tournament of the season takes place during the holiday break, with the Eagles making the trip to the Consol Energy Center in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania for their second appearance in the Three Rivers Classic in its fifth annual year. The Eagles will face Quinnipiac in the opening round while Ferris State faces host Robert Morris. Boston College previously won the title in their first appearance at the tournament in 2012. For their final tournament of the season, the Eagles will play in the 65th Annual Beanpot Tournament at the TD Garden in Boston, Massachusetts. On February 6, Boston College will meet rival Boston University in the opening round, and will face either Harvard or Northeastern in the championship or consolation game. Having won the title in the preceding tournament, the Eagles will look to defend the Beanpot trophy and secure their 7th title in 8 seasons, and 21st title overall.

Previous season recap

The Eagles entered the 2016–17 season following the school's record 25th trip to the Frozen Four in Tampa, Florida, where they would fall to Quinnipiac for the second year in the row. Additionally they fell in the semifinals of the Hockey East Tournament to Beanpot rival, Northeastern, who eventually won the title. The Eagles captured two trophies during the 2015–16 season, winning the Beanpot with a 1–0 OT victory over Boston University, and captured a share of the Hockey East regular season title (shared with Providence) off a strong 28–8–5 record and 15–2–5 in conference play.
