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. The Eagles first fielded a team from 1917 to 1929. School officials dropped hockey as a cost-cutting measure in the wake of the Great Depression.
The modern era of hockey on the Heights began when former player John "Snooks" Kelley agreed to coach a small team of BC students who formed a team midway through the 1932-33 season. Apart from a short break during World War II, Kelley would lead the Eagles until 1972. He led the Eagles to their first national championship in 1949, along the way establishing Boston College as a perennial powerhouse in both regular season and post-season play.
The current (1933–present) incarnation of BC hockey has had only two other full-time coaches, Len Ceglarski and current coach Jerry York, both Boston College alums. They have continued to build upon the success began by Kelley. Both York and Ceglarski have at least 500 career wins. York to date has over 1000 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.
