PREVIEW:

Quinnipiac looks to be a strong team yet again, coming in at #7 in the pre-season rankings and having moved up to #6 after a handful of teams got their seasons started last week. They were very good in 2021-22 as well, putting together a record of 32-7-3 to win the ECAC for the third time in the past four seasons before falling to Michigan in the second round of the NCAA Tournament.

This is the second year in a row that BC will open their regular season with a game against the Bobcats, as the two teams met in the opening round of the Ice Breaker Tournament last year. The teams skated to a 2-2 tie that ended up a BC shootout win, but it’s worth saying that Quinnipiac controlled play for the majority of that game.

As far as season opener’s go, this is a tough one. The Eagles won’t have much margin for error as they face off against a top-10 team, but Quinnipiac is quite a bit different from last year, having lost 13 players from last season. so it’s not like they’re completely without questions.
