CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. – The No. 13/13 Boston College men's hockey team defeated Stonehill 8-2 in an exhibition game on Friday night at Kelley Rink to open up the 2026 half of the season.

Seven Eagles scored in the 8-2 victory led by Dean Letourneau with two of his own. Lukas Gustafsson got the team rolling with James Hagens, Teddy Stiga, Jake Sondreal, Luka Radivojevic and Michael Hagens adding a goal each. J. Hagens and Stiga added two assists to finish with three points each, while Aram Minnetian and Will Skahan also chipped in two assists.

Louka Cloutier, Jan Korec, and Alex Musielak combined to make 30 saves between the pipes.

The Eagles jumped out to an early 3-0 lead inside the opening 10 minutes of the first period. Just 2:35 into the game, Gustafsson skated through several Stonehill defenders before slotting home a shot past the goaltender to put Boston College in front 1-0. Minutes later, the Eagles won a faceoff in the offensive zone and Skahan found J. Hagens for the slap shot into the bottom left corner to double the lead.

The third goal came from J. Hagens to Stiga off a power play, slipping the puck through the top corner of the net. Sondreal added another on a power play toward the end of the opening period to give the Eagles a 4-0 lead before the Skyhawks added their first goal of the night to close the period.

Boston College wasted little time to grab its first goal of the second period, scoring on the power play just 1:50 into the middle frame. Stiga and J. Hagens connected with each other before Hagens found Radivojevic for the one-timer from the left faceoff circle to push the BC lead back to four.

The Eagles added two more in the second period around the midway point. Brady Berard found M. Hagens at the back post for a tap-in. Just over a minute later, Gustafsson fired a shot from the point that Letourneau tipped from out in front of the goal.

Stonehill scored a power play goal of their own in the third period.

Letourneau capped the scoring late in the third period with a short-handed goal.
