For the second year in a row, a Boston College men’s hockey captain is our Male Athlete Who Best Embodies the Characteristics of a BC Eagle. This year, the award goes to Eamon Powell, who was nominated alongside men’s basketball player Quinten Post and baseball player Vince Cimini.
Powell led a young Boston College team to a phenomenal season this year, helping his Eagles to win the Hockey East regular season and the Hockey East Championship. He also led the Eagles to the NCAA Championship game and to a 34-6-1 overall record. Powell played a role on both offense and defense for BC, leading a defensive group made up largely of sophomores and freshmen while also recording 5 goals and 32 assists.
