It’s time again for the greatest tradition in college hockey. When it’s all said and done next Monday night, who will emerge victorious?
Though Boston University isn’t favored heading into the tournament, the Terriers are always a threat to win. They’ve won 29 Beanpots, which is nearly twice as many as any of the other three schools. And if you scored above a 300 on your SATs, you know that BU has won half of the tournaments, with this year being the 59th installment.
If BU is to win, however, it’ll have to get through Boston College. The top-ranked Eagles are one of the best in all of college hockey, and they’ll face off against the Terriers in the opening round. The defending champion Eagles are undoubtedly the favorites heading in.
Then there are the underdogs. Northeastern hasn’t won since 1988, while Harvard hasn’t won since 1993. The good news for Northeastern and Harvard, though, is that one of the schools is guaranteed a spot in the championship game. One of the two will have a shot to win it all.
