- James Hagens was named tournament MVP after posting five points across two games, and freshman goalie Louka Cloutier made 27 saves in the final to earn the Eberly Award.
- Andre Gasseau scored twice, including the eventual winner, with Will Vote adding two goals and Dean Letourneau providing late insurance.
- The victory lifted BC to 16-9-1 and up to 12th in the NPI, strengthening its at-large case, while BU dropped to 13-14-2 and remains outside the at-large picture.
- Hall of Fame coaches Jerry York and Jack Parker handled the ceremonial puck drop, as BU entered as the reigning Beanpot champion after last year’s 4-1 win over BC.
