Bemidji State Beavers men's ice hockey seasons « 2023–24 2025–26 »

The 2024–25 Bemidji State Beavers men's ice hockey season was the 69th season of play for the program, the 25th at the Division I level and 4th in the CCHA. The Beavers represented Bemidji State University, played their home games at Sanford Center and were coached by Tom Serratore in his 24th season.

Season

Bemidji State began the year with a bit of up-and-down play before the team seemed to stabilize in mid-November. While the offense wasn't particularly explosive, it was consistent and the Beavers were able to post a decent record thanks to the efforts of Mattias Sholl in goal. Unfortunately, the senior netminder had a poor stretch in the middle of the season. Despite the defense providing him with a light workload, Sholl began allowing an extra goal or two a game in December and January. That slight increase sent the team into a tailspin by going 2–8–2 in those months.

By the time the club was able to pull out of it, their season was in tatters and Bemidji State was hovering near the bottom of the standings. They finished tied for sixth in the standings, however, had fewer wins than Ferris State so they lost the tie-breaker. Entering the postseason, the Beavers were pitted against one of the season's surprise teams in Augustana. The first game began well for Bemidji and the club carried a narrow lead into the third but the wheels fell off in the final 20 minutes. Sholl surrendered three goals in under 4 minutes while the offense was unable to get a single shot on goal.

After the embarrassing end of the game, the team redoubled its efforts in the rematch. Four different scorers helped the club build two 2-goal leads and they were able to just hold onto the second to even the series. In the deciding match, BSU opened the scoring for the third consecutive game but found themselves trailing as they entered the third. After Noah Quinn tied the match in the back half of the period, the game went into overtime. The back-and-forth action saw both teams trying to score quickly and it was Adam Flammang who became the hero of the evening, scoring the winner from inside the left circle.

The team met Minnesota State in the semifinal but nothing the Beavers did seemed to work. While the managed to outshoot the Mavericks in the match, none of Bemidji State's attempts found the back of the cage and the team was shoutout to end their season.
