[3][4] 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.

The Eberly Trophy[6] goes to the goaltender with the highest save percentage who plays in both of his team's games, while the Beanpot MVP[7] is awarded to tournament's most valuable player.

Play may be continued after this 5-minute interval, but any statistics accrued will not be considered official, and the end result of which will be solely for the purpose of determining tournament placement.

The same result and score occurred in that year's Championship match, as Northeastern and Boston University skated to a 4–4 tie after the initial overtime; the Huskies then defeated the Terriers to claim the title.

The rule came into effect immediately in that year's title game, as Northeastern defeated Harvard 3–2 in a shootout to claim the Beanpot Championship.

Craig Pantano's Eberly Award stat line also includes saves from the additional overtime period of the title game.

After the 2023 introduction of the shootout to determine a winner for all games, this will be the only official tie in tournament history, barring a further change in the rules.

The competition generally takes place on the first and second Mondays in February and often draws one of the largest crowds of the college hockey season outside of the Frozen Four.

[8] The 1978 Beanpot has taken a mythic place in Boston sports lore, as several hundred fans were stuck in the Garden for several days after the Blizzard of 1978 dumped more than two feet of snow during the night of the first-round games.

After 70 iterations of the tournament, the Northeastern Huskies and Harvard Crimson finally both emerged victorious in the Semifinal, and played each other for the title.

None of the four competing teams have won the NCAA Division I Men's Ice Hockey Championship without first winning the Beanpot trophy that season.

This phenomenon has led fans of the Beanpot schools to believe dreams for a national title hold water if they indeed succeed in February.

Since the Beanpots' 1952 inception, the team rosters, once dominated by New Englanders and Canadians, have gradually evolved to include a greater cross section of the United States as well as other countries.

However, a late collapse meant fellow Hockey East school Providence College walked away with their first NCAA title in program history.

Both teams were coming off blowout 6 goal victories in the semifinals, with the Terriers routing Harvard 7-1[13], and the Eagles similarly defeating reigning champions Northeastern in 8-2.

Bang-bang goals by freshmen Brandon Svoboda and Cole Hutson just over a minute apart saw Boston University take a 2-1 lead during the second period, and with 6 minutes left in the 3rd Cole Eiserman doubled the Terriers' lead to 2 with a defensive takeaway and 5-hole backhand on Eagles netminder Jacob Fowler.

Defensemen Gavin McCarthy iced the game with a 200-foot empty netter with less than 2 minutes to go, sealing the Terriers' 32nd Beanpot title.

The teams and students were joined in celebration by program alumni and Calder hopefuls Macklin Celebrini and Lane Hutson[15].

Turner's wrist shot has often been called the most important goal in Northeastern history, and is generally considered a marquee sporting moment for the university.

Northeastern won their drought-breaking championship in 2018 with a dominating 5–2 victory over BU, in a rare year where the Huskies were the strongest team in the field, having come into the tournament ranked highest in the pairwise over the other three Beanpot schools.

In 2020, the Huskies would win their third straight championship against BU in double overtime, solidifying their legacy as a 21st-century Beanpot dynasty and effectively ending their reputation as the underdogs of the tournament.

Earning three championships in a row from 2018 to 2020 proved their newfound parity with their other Beanpot schools, where they hoped to continue their success in the coming years.

In 2023, 16th-ranked Northeastern recaptured the Beanpot title by beating 9th ranked Harvard 3–2 in the tournament's first ever shootout, after overtime rules were amended that season.

Northeastern defeated Harvard 5–1 in the consolation game and, for the 22nd time in the history of the tournament, BC and BU competed for the Championship, with the Eagles winning a 1–0 overtime contest.

Northeastern defeated Boston College 4–2 in the consolation game and Harvard and BU competed for the Championship, with the Crimson winning their 11th title and first since 1993 by a score of 6–3.

The first round of the tournament saw Northeastern shutout Boston College 3–0 and BU defeat Harvard in double overtime, 3–2.

The Huskies victory also marked a championship for each tournament school in consecutive years - BU in 2015, BC in 2016, Harvard in 2017, and Northeastern in 2018 - an occurrence that happened only once before between 1980 and 1983.

They previously had a 5-year drought between 2010 and 2014 – when BC won five straight championships – however, their 7-year span during 1959-65 is the most years in a row the Terriers went without the Beanpot title.

[22] Boston College's first two women's championships did not come until the 2006 and 2007 Beanpots, winning back-to-back years against Harvard and BU, respectively.

The longest current championship win streak belongs to Boston University, who won six consecutive Beanpots between 1995 and 2000.
