The 2023–24 Hockey East men's season is the 40th season of play for Hockey East and will take place during the 2023–24 NCAA Division I men's ice hockey season. The season will begin on October 7, 2023, and concluded on March 2, 2024.[1]
Coaches
Vermont fired Todd Woodcroft after an investigation revealed that he had sent improper text to a female undergraduate.[2] Because the school did not have the time to perform a full coaching search, Steve Wiedler was promoted to interim head coach for this season while the rest of the staff remained in place.
