Live Updates: No. 13 Boston College Men's Hockey Hosts Stonehill in Exhibition Game

For the first time in over a month, the Boston College men’s hockey program is set to play on home ice at Conte Forum in Chestnut Hill, Mass., with an exhibition matchup against Stonehill College.

Puck drop is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET and the game will be televised on ESPN+.

The No. 13 Eagles (11-6-1, 7-3-0) are coming off a win in the consolation round of the Kwik Trip Holiday Face-Off in Milwaukee, Wis., against Lake Superior State after falling to No. 6 Western Michigan, 5-3, in the first round of the mid-season tournament over the holiday break.

BC’s roster was not fully equipped in both contests, however, as sophomore forward James Hagens and Teddy Stiga, along with freshman defenseman Luka Radivojevic, were in Minnesota for the 2026 IIHF World Junior Championship — Hagens and Stiga for Team USA and Radivojevic for Team Slovakia.

The Eagles also made a pair of mid-season moves over the break, adding freshman defenseman Oscar Hemming — a 6-foot-4, 200-pound blueliner who notched two assists in his second career game — from the Kitchener Rangers of the Ontario Hockey League (OHL) before losing freshman forward Gavin Cornforth to the Moncton Wildcats of the Quebec Maritime Junior Hockey League (QMJHL).

The Skyhawks (4-13-2) are coming into Friday’s exhibition game riding a four-game unbeaten streak with two wins against Alaska Anchorage followed by a win and a tie against St. Lawrence.

Third Period:

GOAL - Dean Letourneau stuffs in his second tally of the night on a breakaway with a quick-release snap shot. Eight goals is the most BC has scored in a game since Feb. 3, 2025 against Northeastern in a 8-2 win. Boston College 8, Stonehill 2 [18:08].

GOAL - Joel Lehtinen grabs a loose puck in front of the net and punches in the Skyhawks' second goal of the game to decrease Stonehill's deficit to five. Evan Orr was credited with the assist. Boston College 7, Stonehill 2 [13:11].

Freshman Louka Cloutier started in net for the Eagles but junior Jan Korec took over duties in the second period and has made seven saves so far.

Second Period:

While it is just an exhibition game against an inferior opponent, by most measures, BC's offensive efficiency through the first two periods has been off the charts. The Eagles (18) have less shots on net than the Skyhakws (21) but all 18 were high-quality scoring chances.

GOAL - Dean Letourneau scores a tip-in goal from Lukas Gustafsson's shot off the point. Boston College 7, Stonehill 1 [10:04].

GOAL - Michael Hagens registers his first goal of the season on a 2-on-0 breakaway. Brady Berard notched the assist. Boston College 6, Stonehill 1 [8:57].

GOAL - With the man advantage, James Hagens picks up his second assist of the night with a cross-ice pass to Luka Radivojevic, who powered in a one-timer into a half-open net. Boston College 5, Stonehill 1 [1:50].

First Period:

GOAL - Cole Melady scores on a 2-on-1 with a double-post snipe over the left shoulder of BC goaltender Louka Cloutier to get the Skyhawks on the board. Boston College 4, Stonehill 1 [17:57].

GOAL - Jake Sondreal grabs a loose rebound in the slot and puts it into the net for his 19th points of the season after a swift stickhandle move to his forehand. Boston College 4, Stonehill 0 [17:46].

17:31 - Anthony Galante is sent to the box for slashing, sending the Eagles to their second power play of the game.

16:12 - 4-on-4 play begins after penalties on James Hagens and Stonehill's Joel Lehtinen, each for holding.

GOAL - Teddy Stiga lights the lamp with a one-timer from the low point of the left circle on an assist from James Hagens. All three of the Eagles' goals have been snipes. Boston College 3, Stonehill 0 [9:35].

GOAL - BC's points leader James Hagens rips in a one-timer from the top of the left circle on an assist from Will Skahan from the opposite side of the point. Boston College 2, Stonehill 0 [6:38].

GOAL - Lukas Gustafsson gets the Eagles on the board first with his third goal of the year from point-blank range. Boston College 1, Stonehill 0 [2:35].

Pregame:

Stonehill head coach David Berard is the father of BC captain Brady Berard.
