BC Womens Hockey Nonconference Slate Sets Up A Familiar Pressure Stretch

The Boston College Eagles have revealed their ambitious non-conference journey for the 2026-27 season, promising thrilling matchups and strategic tests on home ice and beyond.

Boston College women’s hockey now has its non-conference road map for 2026-27, and the schedule gives the Eagles a little bit of everything: an opener away from home, a long home stretch, a Thanksgiving tournament stop and the always-significant Beanpot dates.

The program announced Monday that the 10-game non-conference slate includes four games at Kelley Rink, two games at the D1 in DC Tournament, a meeting with Stonehill at Warrior Ice Arena and the 48th Dunkin' Women's Beanpot.

BC’s first non-conference game comes Saturday, Oct. 3 against Stonehill at Warrior Ice Arena. From there, the Eagles head back to Kelley Rink for three straight home games, starting with Cornell on Friday, Oct. 23 and Saturday, Oct. 24 before Minnesota State visits on Monday, Oct. 26.

The Eagles then shift into Thanksgiving weekend play at the D1 in DC Tournament, held at MedStar Capitals Iceplex in Arlington, Virginia. Boston College opens that event against Penn State on Friday, Nov. 27, then meets Princeton on Saturday, Nov. 28.

When the calendar turns to 2027, Boston College gets right back to work at home with a pair of games against Bemidji State. Those are set for Friday, Jan. 1 and Saturday, Jan. 2 at Kelley Rink.

The Beanpot follows soon after. BC hosts Boston University in the opening round of the 48th Dunkin' Women's Beanpot on Monday, Jan. 12 at Kelley Rink, then closes the tournament on Monday, Jan. 19 against either Northeastern or Harvard at TD Garden.

For a program looking to keep building momentum, that kind of recognition matters because it says the league is taking notice of the pieces Boston College expects to lean on once the games start.

The list reflects a roster with help in a few key spots, from skill positions to the kicking game, and it also hints at how much the Eagles are counting on continuity after last seasons contributions.
