The Eagles were coached by Fred Rocque in his 5th season. Season Before the season began, Boston College's issues with securing opponents came to a head and the team was only able to secure seven game for their entire slate. Worse, just three of those matches would come against their contemporaries, meaning that the Eagles would have no chance to win a championship of any kind.https://archive.org/details/subturriundertow1927bost/page/404/mode/2up?q=hockey Sub Turri 1927 Boston College November 30, 2024 Despite this setback, Rocque put the team through its paces to get ready for the opening match with Toronto, who were perhaps the best college team from Canada that season.https://varsityblues.ca/documents/2023/7/19/MHKY_All-Time_Game_Results_MASTER_as_of_April_2023.pdf All-Time Game Results Toronto Varsity Blues January 30, 2024 The Eagles played well for it being their opening game but were outmatched by the Varsity Blues.

The first came against MIT and saw the team put up a similar effort as the all-star game, however, since the Engineers were a much weaker opponent, the team was able to put off a win with just one goal from Gibson. Unfortunately, the match with Army had to be cancelled due a lack of ice.https://newspapers.bc.edu/?a=d&d=bcheights19270125.1.5&e=-------en-20--1--txt-txIN------- Teamwork of Cronin and Gibson Give Eagle Sextet 1-0 win Over M.I.T. The Heights January 25, 1927 November 30, 2024 A week later, the annual rivalry with Boston University was renewed, however, the offense was particularly inept and only a tremendous rush up the ice by Joe Fitzgerald kept the team from being shutout.https://newspapers.bc.edu/?a=d&d=bcheights19270201.2.23&e=-------en-20--1--txt-txIN------- Fitzgerald Prevents Shutout for Eagles in B.U. Fracas; Score 3-1 The Heights February 1, 1927 November 30, 2024 A day after the BU loss, the offense finally came to life against the Springfield Outing Club despite Cronin being absent from the match. McGovern opened the scoring in the first but it was the 3-goal flurry at the start of the second that decided the game. Tedesco's marker was followed by two from Kelleher, giving the team a 4–1 lead and they managed to hold on until the end of the 45-minute game.https://newspapers.bc.edu/?a=d&d=bcheights19270201.1.4&e=-------en-20--1--txt-txIN------- Hockey Team Defeats Springfield Outing Club The Heights February 1, 1927 November 30, 2024 After their second win, the team had to wait almost a full month for their final match. When Loyola arrived in town, there was no telling how the team would play after their extended layoff. The Eagles were sluggish out of the gate and surrendered 2 goals in the first five minutes, however, Gibson quickly rang up a pair to tie the match. Cronin and Tedesco then added one apiece to give BC a 2-goal lead after the first. The offensive outburst continued in the second with Linehan's only two goals of his college career coming after a Smokey Kelleher marker. Despite the barrage of goals, Loyola wound;t go away and continued to penetrate the BC defense, scoring two in the middle period to keep the game within reach. Cronin's second goal of the evening gave BC a 4-goal lead in the third and, though the Warriors scored twice more before the final buzzer, BC ended their unfortunate season on a high-note.https://newspapers.bc.edu/?a=d&d=bcheights19270301.1.6&e=-------en-20--1--txt-txIN------- Loyola Succumbs to B.C.
