Boston College No. 1 in the Nation

Following a two-step sweep of eighth-ranked Michigan State, Boston College is the new top team in the USCHO.com poll for NCAA Division I men's hockey.

The Eagles garnered 36 first-place votes in raising their overall record this season to 5-1-0, after former No. 1 school Minnesota was swept by No. 14 Wisconsin last weekend. It is the first time that BC has been ranked first overall since March 15, 2021. Denver, North Dakota, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Providence, Quinnipiac, Boston University and Cornell round out this week's top ten.

BC opens Hockey East conference play this weekend in a home-and-home series against UMass Lowell.

ADDENDUM: The Eagles improved to 6-1-0 with a 3-2 win over UML on Friday night at Kelley Rink. Freshman defenseman Aram Minnetian notched the game-winning goal for BC, which added a second 3-2 victory Saturday night in Lowell as freshman forward Gabe Perreault recorded three assists.
