The green line rivalry continues

How did it all come about?

The rivalry dates back to February 1918, when we first began playing hockey. We played a lone game that year against BC, a 3–1 loss. Since then, no other opponent has appeared on either teams’ schedule more often.

And the Beanpot?

The first and second Monday in February, BC and BU, along with Harvard and Northeastern, take part in the annual Beanpot Tournament. The Eagles and Terriers often square off in the championship game. Fun fact: the our women’s ice hockey team captured their first Beanpot Trophy since 1981 last year.

This year’s Beanpot
