The Eagles played their home games at Kelley Rink on the campus of Boston College, and competed in Hockey East.
Contents
Boston College entered the season as defending National Champions after defeating Notre Dame in the 2008 NCAA Tournament Championship game for the program's third National Championship. The Eagles raised their 2008 title banner to the rafters of Kelley Rink in their home opener against Wisconsin on October 10, 2008.
The 2008-09 season was a generally poor one for the Eagles, as the team did not make the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2002, and failed to defend both their Hockey East Tournament and Beanpot titles from the previous year.
Senior Brock Bradford captained the 2008-09 team after missing most of the 2007-08 season with an arm injury.
Recruiting
Boston College added nine freshmen for the 2008-2009 season, including three defensemen, five forwards, and one goalie.
