Prior to the national anthem, Boston College will show a tribute video and hold a moment of silence. On top of that, every player will wear a patch on his jersey with the initials TV-JG-MG for the entirety of the 2024-25 season. The patch debuted during the Eagles road series against the Michigan State Spartans last weekend.

A moment of silence fell over Conte Forum to honor three Eagles greats who died over the summer: Johnny Gaudreau, Matthew Gaudreau, and Tony Voce.

Boston College will honor former hockey players Johnny and Matthew Gaudreau and Tony Voce with uniform patches, a sign on the boards in front of the team bench and other tributes this season. All three died this summer: The Gaudreau brothers were hit by a car while bicycling in New Jersey the day before their sister’s wedding.
