The 2013–14 Boston College Eagles men's ice hockey team represented Boston College in the 2013–14 NCAA Division I men's ice hockey season. The team was coached by Jerry York, '67, his twentieth season behind the bench at Boston College. The Eagles played their home games at Kelley Rink on the campus of Boston College, competing in Hockey East.
With the addition of the Notre Dame Fighting Irish to Hockey East, the Holy War rivalry extended to conference play between the Eagles and the Irish. The two teams played each other at Fenway Park on January 4 during the league's Frozen Fenway exhibit, where the Eagles topped the Irish in a 4–3 contest, and both teams played their final game of the season against each other at Kelley Rink on February 28, with the Irish winning 2–1 in overtime.
The Eagles competed in two tournaments during the 2013–14 season. The first tournament, on December 27–28, the Eagles played in the 2nd Annual Three Rivers Classic, played at the Consol Energy Center in Pittsburgh, where they defeated Bowling Green 5–0 in the first round and then won the championship by beating Penn State 8–2 in the second round. On February 3 and 10, the Eagles won their 5th straight championship in the 62nd Annual Beanpot Tournament, played at the TD Garden in Boston, Massachusetts, defeating Boston University 3–1 in the first round and Northeastern in the championship round by a score of 4–1.
The Eagles finished the season 28–8–4, 16–2–2 in conference play, capturing the Hockey East regular season title. However, they did not advance far into the Hockey East tournament, losing the best-of-three quarterfinals to rival Notre Dame in three games, at home. They would, however, succeed in the NCAA tournament, where they would win the Northeast Regional, played at the DCU Center in Worcester. A victory over Hockey East foe UMass Lowell advanced the Eagles to the program's 24th Frozen Four (tying Michigan for most appearances), but would lose to the eventual champions, the Union Dutchmen in the semi-final.
