BC has the longest drought of the four teams competing in this internationally acclaimed but uniquely provincial Boston hockey festival.

The Eagles have their sights set on getting back to the national championship game after coming one win short last season. Led by future NHLers Ryan Leonard and Gabe Perreault, BC is also trying to advance to the Beanpot final for the first time since losing to Northeastern in 2019.

Just like the women's team, Northeastern men's hockey has won two straight Beanpot titles heading into 2025. Another championship would give both programs a three-peat. Northeastern has also won five of the last six Beanpot tournaments with Boston University defeating the Huskies in 2022.

The No. 1 Boston College Eagles (19-4-1, 12-3-1 HE) men’s hockey team starts its run in the 2025 Beanpot as it takes on the Northeastern Huskies (9-12-3, 4-9-3 HE) in the semifinals on Monday night.

BOSTON -- One of the most legendary tournaments in hockey is set to write a new chapter on Monday night, as the Boston University Terriers take on the Harvard Crimson in the first of two semifinals in the annual Beanpot.
