Beanpot (ice hockey)

The Beanpot is an annual men's and women's ice hockey tournament among the four major college hockey teams of the Greater Boston area in the United States: the Boston University Terriers, Boston College Eagles, Harvard University Crimson, and Northeastern University Huskies.

The men's tournament is held annually since the 1952–53 season, usually during the first two Mondays in February. Games are played at TD Garden since 1996, except for 2021 when it was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Boston College is the current men's Beanpot champion, having won the 2026 tournament. The women's tournament began in 1979, with the championship game being held at TD Garden since 2024. Harvard won the 2026 women’s tournament in overtime against Boston University.

Due to the success of the hockey tournament, numerous other "Beanpots" have been contested in a number of other sports over the years, usually involving teams from the same four schools.
