The East Greenwich, R.I., native has been with the Eagles for one season after transferring from Providence last offseason.
During his junior campaign, he appeared in 35 games and tallied four goals and one assists for five points.
Berard’s four scores came in a six-game stretch in Jan., during the team’s nine-game winning streak to open 2025. He scored in three consecutive games to aid in the Eagles’ hot streak against Merrimack on Jan. 10 and 11 and versus Harvard on Jan. 14.
He helped Boston College to its 27-8-2 season in 2024-25 which included an 18-4-2 mark in Hockey East play, a Hockey East regular season title, an appearance in the Hockey East Tournament Quarterfinals, and an appearance in the NCAA Manchester Regional where it lost to Denver 3-1 in the final.
