The 2024 Hockey East men's ice hockey tournament was the 39th tournament in the history of the conference. It was played between March 13 and March 23, 2024. The tournament champion, Boston College, received the conference's automatic bid into the 2024 NCAA Division I men's ice hockey tournament.

Format

The tournament includes all eleven teams in the conference, with teams ranked according to their finish in the conference standings. Seeds 1–5 earn a bye into the quarterfinal round, while seeds 6–11 play to determine the remaining quarterfinalists. Winners in the opening round are reseeded and advanced to play top three seeds in reverse order. Winners of the quarterfinal matches are again reseeded for the semifinal, and the winners of those two games face off in the championship.

All series are single-elimination with opening round and quarterfinal matches occurring at home team sites. The two semifinal games and championship match are held at the TD Garden. The tournament champion receives an automatic bid into the NCAA Division I men's ice hockey tournament.^[1]
