Hockey East Men's Ice Hockey Tournaments

The 2015 Hockey East Men's Ice Hockey Tournament was played between March 6 and March 21, 2015, at campus locations and at the TD Garden in Boston, Massachusetts. The Boston University Terriers defeated the UMass Lowell River Hawks by a score of 5–3 to earn their 8th Hockey East championship in school history and earn Hockey East's automatic bid into the 2015 NCAA Division I Men's Ice Hockey Tournament. Jack Eichel was named tournament MVP.

The tournament is the 31st in league history.

Format

With the addition of the UConn Huskies to Hockey East, the tournament was reformatted to include all twelve teams in the conference. Seeds 1–4 earned a first-round bye, and seeds 5–12 played a best-of-three Opening Round played on campus locations. Winners advanced to play the 1–4 seeds in the best-of-three Quarterfinals on campus locations. Winners of those series played in a single-game Semifinal, and those winners faced off in a single-game Championship Final, both at the TD Garden.
