This weekend, Boston College men’s hockey opens the 2017-18 regular season with a home game against Quinnipiac. The Eagles have struggled a bit against the Bobcats in recent years, finding it hard to beat the older, bigger team. This season’s BC team is projected to be an underdog, so a win against QU would be a great start to the year. BC and QU are currently both ranked in the top 15.
With Joe Woll’s strong goaltending and some big, tough defenders, BC has a chance if they can create offense. Younger players like Jacob Tortora, Graham McPhee, and David Cotton will need to immediately start scoring if BC wants to have a chance against the Bobcats and other top teams.
