The Terriers return 16 letter winners from last year’s squad that advanced to the Frozen Four for a second straight season, including Hockey East All-Stars Tom Willander and Mathieu Caron. BU went 28-10-2 in head coach Jay Pandolfo’s second year at the helm, including nine wins against top-10 opponents. 

BU will begin the 2024-25 campaign with four straight home games at Agganis Arena, including the season opener against Holy Cross on Oct. 5. Fans can purchase season tickets by clicking here.
