Today is the annual Beanpot tournament between the 4 Boston area schools in hockey at Boston Garden.
NU takes on BC at 5pm follwed by BU and Harvard at 8:30 on NESN.
The winners meet next Monday for the championship at 8:30 after the consolation game at 5.
It’s the old college hockey tournament in the country.
Some tidbits ...
NU comes into the tourney as the only one ranked, which is the first time that’s happened.
NU hasn’t won the freakin’ Beanpot since my freshman year in 1988! Yep, 1988.
NU and Harvard have NEVER played in the championship game!
BU has won the most championships, followed by BC.
Harvard won it last year for the 1st time since 1993.
NU has only won 4 titles and they all came in the 80’s. The 4 is the lowest amount won.
To be honest, I have no taste for the Beanpot. I mean I’ll still watch when I get home from work tomorrow and follow the scores. If we win the title I’ll be happy of course.
But I want to win the HE championship again and make it to the Frozen Four.
We don’t need the Beanpot for recruiting purposes, we’re getting top flight recruits too with BC and BU.
