Previous season recap

The Eagles entered the 2021–22 season following a strong 2020–21 effort. With a 17–6–1 record, going 16–4–1 in conference play, the Eagles finished first in Hockey East for a second straight year and returned to the NCAA tournament for the first time since 2016. Despite clinching the top seed in the conference, no regular season trophy was awarded due to disparate scheduling among the league. The Eagles advanced to the Semifinals of the Hockey East tournament where they fell in double overtime to the UMass Lowell River Hawks. Earning a top seed in the NCAA Northeast Regional, the Eagles fell in the Regional final to the St. Cloud State Huskies. No mid-season tournaments were held due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
