Yes. There is the Hockey East Tournament and the NCAA Tournament.
The winner of Hockey East gets an automatic invitation to the NCAA Tourney, but there are also 10 invites for teams that don't win their conference. There are 6 conferences in the NCAA Division 1, and 16 teams get invited to the tournament.
Boston College ended the regular season as the second-ranked team in the country, so they will get one of the 10 invites even if they get eliminated in the Hockey East quarterfinals.
