The Eagles also began the season as defending Hockey East tournament and Beanpot champions, having alo won both tournaments during the 2009-2010 season. The Eagles raised their 2010 National Championship banner in the home opener against Merrimack on October 29, 2010. BC skated to a 3-2 victory.
On February 14, 2011, BC defeated Northeastern 7-6 in overtime on a goal by junior forward Jimmy Hayes in the Beanpot Championship. It was the first time the Eagles have won back-to-back Beanpots (having also won in 2010) since the team won three-in-a-row from 1963-1965. Sophomore forward Chris Kreider was named tournament MVP.
BC clinched the Hockey East regular season crown by sweeping New Hampshire in the final series of the regular season.
