- Former Boston College men’s hockey forward Colby Ambrosio scored a goal in Miami Ohio’s game against Denver on Friday night. Ambrosio spent four seasons with the Eagles and transferred last year.
The first RedHawks goal of 2025 goes to…Colby Ambrosio!

The Boston College transfer forces a turnover, and a nice setup pass from Raimonds Vitolins gives Ambrosio plenty of room to move into space and fire one short side on Matt Davis. What a rip. #RiseUpRedHawks pic.twitter.com/kus9dZMXxS
- The Boston College football coaching staff continues to be active in the offseason.
Great to have the Boston College College Eagles out on the road recruiting Massachusetts talent today! Thanks to @CoachThurin for stopping by Mansfield High School and talking about our student-athletes and upcoming summer camp opportunities for our players! Go BC!!
