No. 1 Boston College Men's Hockey vs Bentley in Manchester Regional: Lines, Score Updates, TV Info
The No. 1-seeded Boston College Eagles (26-7-2) men’s hockey team starts its run in the 2025 NCAA Tournament as it takes on the No. 4-seeded Bentley Falcons (23-14-2) in the first game of the Manchester Regional on Friday afternoon.
The Eagles will take the ice for the first time since March 15. In the team’s last outing, Boston College lost to Northeastern 3-1 in the Hockey East Quarterfinals.
