When Boston College won the Hockey East regular season title over the weekend to earn the No. 1 seed, the team knew where and when it would be playing in the conference tournament. However, the Eagles had to wait to find out their opponent for the quarterfinals until after the opening round of games on Wednesday night.

There didn’t appear to be a lot on the line entering the final day of the regular season for the BC and BU men’s hockey teams.

BC, Maine, BU, UConn, and Providence — earned byes, and are now joined by UMass, UMass Lowell, and Northeastern after first-round victories.

Hockey East announced its end of season awards on Tuesday which had multiple Eagles as recipients. One of those awards was given to Boston College defenseman Eamon Powell. Powell was awarded the conference’s Best Defensive Defenseman Award.
