No. 20 Eagles Cruise Past Dartmouth 6-1 to Claim Ledyard Classic Title
December 31, 2021 | Men's Hockey
HANOVER, N.H. – No. 20 Boston College dominated from start to finish on New Year's Eve, coasting to a 6-1 victory over host Dartmouth to win the 32nd Ledyard Classic at Thompson Arena on Friday night.
Â
BC claimed the Ledyard Classic title for the third time after winning the event in 2010 and 2014. The Eagles improved to 10-5-3 (5-3-2 HEA) and extended their unbeaten streak to six games (4-0-2) to close the calendar year.
Â
Jack McBain scored twice for the second straight night and was named the Tournament MVP, pushing his team-high goal total to 13. Henry Wilder won the Top Goalie Award, picking up his second straight victory in net with 26 saves.
Â
Boston College also received goals from Marc McLaughlin, Mike Posma, Marshall Warren and Jack St. Ivany. Drew Helleson registered a game-high three assists and was named to the All-Tournament Team with McLaughlin and St. Ivany.
Â
BC stormed out to a 3-0 lead in the first period, beginning with McBain firing a shot low blocker side off a right wing feed at the 5:54 mark from Nikita Nesterenko for his third assist of the tournament.
Â
McLaughlin tipped a shot pass from Helleson glove side on the power play three minutes later, and Posma finished a creative behind-the-net feed from Casey Carreau at 13:34.
Â
Just 1:09 into the second, Warren side-stepped a loose stick at the offensive line and ripped a shot into the top corner for a 4-0 cushion. Dartmouth got on the board from Sean Chisolm at 2:32, but a tip from McBain and a rebound from St. Ivany made it a 6-1 game through two.
Â
Boston College returns to Hockey East play next Saturday (Jan. 8) at Kelley Rink against UConn at 4 p.m.
