Boston College will make its fifth appearance in the Ice Breaker Tournament, the traditional start to the college hockey season, at Magness Arena on the campus of the University of Denver Oct. 7-8, 2016.
The Eagles have won the Ice Breaker Tournament on three occasions, including their last trip in 2011. BC was won the season-opening tournament in 1998 (Mariucci Arena -- University of Minnesota), 2003 (Munn Ice Arena - Michigan State University) and 2011 (Engelstad Arena -- University of North Dakota). Boston College also participated in 2007 (Xcel Energy Center -- University of Minnesota).
"Magness Arena and the University of Denver will be fantastic hosts for the 2016 Ice Breaker Tournament," said Mike Snee, Executive Director of College Hockey Inc.
