Beanpot results

Boston University is sometimes jokingly referred to as “Beanpot University”[http://media.www.dailyfreepress.com/media/storage/paper87/news/2003/08/29/Sports/Beanpot.University.101-454724.shtml BU Daily Free Press] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071007103249/http://media.www.dailyfreepress.com/media/storage/paper87/news/2003/08/29/Sports/Beanpot.University.101-454724.shtml |date=October 7, 2007 }} because of its success in the annual mid-season hockey tournament called the Beanpot. This highly anticipated single-elimination tournament is contested by Boston University, Northeastern University, Harvard University, and Boston College, with the winner receiving the coveted Beanpot trophyThe Beanpot's identical twin http://www.collegehockeynews.com/news/2010/02/07_thebeanpots.php and bragging rights over its Boston rivals. The four-team tournament is played on the first two Mondays of February at the TD Garden. Of the 63 Beanpots played since the 1952–1953 season, Boston University has been victorious on 32 occasions. The Terriers' last win came in 2025 as they defeated Boston College 4-1 in the final round.

BU Terriers in the Olympics

=BU Terriers on the 1980 U.S. Olympic Hockey team=

The' Miracle on Ice' team that defeated the Soviet Union and won the gold medal during the 1980 Olympics in Lake Placid, New York, featured four Boston University players including Olympic team captain Mike Eruzione. Along with Dave Silk, Jack O'Callahan, and goalie Jim Craig, these Terriers played key roles and were the only players from eastern schools on a U.S. squad composed predominantly of Minnesotans.

Eruzione scored the famous winning goal against the Soviets with 10 minutes remaining, and Craig made 36 saves to preserve the 4–3 victory. Silk, who assisted on the United States' second and third goals, was mentioned in sportscast Al Michaels' final call: "Eleven seconds, you've got ten seconds, the countdown going on right now! Morrow, up to Silk. Five seconds left in the game. Do you believe in miracles? Yes!"

O'Callahan, who had injured his left knee in an exhibition match, returned for the famous "Miracle on Ice" game and in his first seconds on the ice, delivered a massive hit on a Soviet player that turned the puck over to the Americans near the Soviet defensive zone. The hit caught the Soviets off guard and set up a goal scored by William "Buzz" Schneider to tie the game at 1–1.

After defeating the Soviet Union squad, the U.S. players went on to defeat Finland to secure the gold medal.

Rivals

=Boston College=

Boston University's biggest rival is Boston College. Referred to as the Green Line Rivalry or The Battle of Commonwealth Avenue because of the proximity of the schools and the means of transportation to get from one campus to another,{{cite news | url=https://pqasb.pqarchiver.com/bostonherald/access/217128111.html?dids=217128111:217128111&FMT=ABS&FMTS=ABS:FT&date=Oct+20%2C+2002&author=John+Connolly&pub=Boston+Herald&edition=&startpage=B.19&desc=COLLEGE+HOCKEY | work=Boston Herald | title=COLLEGE HOCKEY; FACEOFF 2002–03; Hockey East preview; A crowded house | first=John | last=Connolly | date=October 20, 2002 | access-date=July 5, 2017 | archive-date=September 25, 2012 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120925024841/http://pqasb.pqarchiver.com/bostonherald/access/217128111.html?dids=217128111:217128111&FMT=ABS&FMTS=ABS:FT&date=Oct+20,+2002&author=John+Connolly&pub=Boston+Herald&edition=&startpage=B.19&desc=COLLEGE+HOCKEY | url-status=dead }} the Terriers and Eagles have played each other well over 200 times since their first meeting in 1918. The rivalry is considered one of the best in NCAA hockey, both in terms of intensity and quality.{{cite web|url=http://www.collegehockeynews.com/news/2006/02/08_top10.php |title=Top 10 Rivalries |publisher=College Hockey News |access-date=2015-07-09}} The schools have combined for ten national championships and even played each other in the NCAA championship game in 1978, with BU skating off to a 5–3 victory.{{cite web|url=http://www.insidecollegehockey.com/6History/ncaa_78.htm |title=1978 NCAA Tournament |publisher=Inside College Hockey |access-date=2015-07-09}}

After the 1978 national championship victory over Boston College, BU co-captain Jack O'Callahan was quoted as saying "We shouldn't have to beat BC for the nationals. Hell, we can do that anytime."It's still a one-way avenue. {{cite web |url=http://vault.sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/article/magazine/MAG1093490/2/index.htm |title=Boston University won the NCAA battle and the war of - 04.03.78 - SI Vault |access-date=2011-07-19 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://archive.today/20121203002759/http://vault.sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/article/magazine/MAG1093490/2/index.htm |archive-date=2012-12-03 }} But every game between the teams is highly anticipated. "You could wake up both teams at three o'clock in the morning and tell 'em we're playing on Spy Pond in Arlington, and they'd be there," BU coach Jack Parker once said.BU-BC? B-eautiful! {{cite web|url=http://vault.sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/article/magazine/MAG1109143/index.htm |title=Bu-bc? B-eautiful! - 01.24.05 - SI Vault |access-date=2009-05-08 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080830044057/http://vault.sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/article/magazine/MAG1109143/index.htm |archive-date=2008-08-30 }}

BU and BC have played at least once a year since 1946, and at least twice a year since 1949. They usually play two Hockey East regular season games each year, and typically face each other once more in February during the Beanpot, with BU holding a substantial edge in tournament and head-to-head victories. The teams have twice played each other for the Hockey East Championship, in 1986 and 2006, with BU winning both titles. In 2005–06, BU and BC played six games—three in the Hockey East regular season, and once each in the Beanpot, Hockey East tournament, and NCAA tournament. At every game, regular season and playoffs, the spirited student sections – BU's nicknamed the Dog Pound and BC's the Superfans – are seated in proximity to each other and hurl insults and chants back and forth. BU and BC ratcheted up their rivalry on Jan. 8, 2010, when they played each other at Fenway Park in front of 38,000 fans, the biggest crowd to ever watch the teams play. BU won the game, 3–2.

Sports Illustrated columnist Steve Rushin went so far as to call BU-BC the biggest rivalry in all of sports. Despite substantial bitterness between the fan bases of the two schools, the hockey teams and coaches generally agree that the magnitude of the rivalry has benefited both hockey programs. "The best thing that ever happened to BU hockey was BC," Parker told Rushin.

The first varsity ice hockey game BU ever played was a 3–1 loss to Boston College on February 6, 1918. As of the 2010–11 season, BU led the all-time rivalry 125–112, with 17 ties.

=Cornell=

The rivalry between Boston University and Cornell dates to 1925 when Boston University beat Cornell 7–2. The teams played each other in the NCAA championship game in both 1967 and 1972, with Cornell defeating BU 4–1 in '67 and the Terriers taking the '72 title with a 4–0 win. Between the years 1967 and 1977, Boston University and Cornell won the ECAC crown five times each.

The schools renewed the rivalry over Thanksgiving weekend of 2007, with a sold out game dubbed "Red Hot Hockey" at Madison Square Garden in New York, NY. After scoring three goals in the first several minutes of play, BU went on to win 6–3. Red Hot Hockey returned to Madison Square Garden on November 28, 2009, with the two teams skating to a 3–3 tie after one overtime period. The event again sold out the arena. The third meet up on November 26, 2011, resulted in a 2–1 win for BU in overtime.

=University of Maine=

In the first half of the 1990s, the BU-Maine rivalry was one of the most talked about in college hockey, with the teams battling each other both for eastern and national college hockey supremacy. Boston University defeated Maine in the 1991 Hockey East championship game, in overtime, and Maine returned the favor by soundly beating BU in the HE title game in 1993. In the '93 season, Maine won the national title and lost only one game all year, and it came at the hands of their rivals at BU. Maine had to forfeit most of its wins in the 1994 season because of recruiting violations. BU coach Jack Parker criticized the Maine program, calling the use of ineligible players a "black mark on the league."{{cite news| url=https://www.nytimes.com/1997/01/17/sports/maine-is-on-the-road-back.html?n=Top/Reference/Times%20Topics/Organizations/U/University%20of%20Maine | work=The New York Times | title=Maine Is on the Road Back | date=January 17, 1997 | access-date=April 26, 2010 | first=Rick | last=Westhead}} In 1995, both teams were at the top of their games and faced off in the NCAA championship game in Providence, R.I., which BU won 6–2.

=Harvard and Northeastern=

BU's rivalries with Harvard and Northeastern stem mainly from regular meetings in the Beanpot, the tournament in which Boston bragging rights are on the line. BU also plays Northeastern three times each year in conference regular season play, and sometimes plays the ECAC-based Harvard in a nonconference game early in the season. BU, BC, Northeastern and Harvard formerly played their home games in the Boston Arena, the site of the first Beanpot in 1952 and the current home of Northeastern. BU stopped playing home games in Boston Arena when it opened the Walter Brown Arena in 1971.

Awards and honors

=Hobey Baker Award winners=

The Hobey Baker Award is an annual award given to the top National Collegiate Athletic Association men's ice hockey player. It is named for hockey player and World War I hero Hobey Baker.

class="wikitable"
Hobey Baker Award winners
1998 Chris Drury
2009 Matt Gilroy
2015 Jack Eichel
2024 Macklin Celebrini

Forward Chris Drury became BU's first Hobey Baker award winner after a senior campaign in which he scored 28 goals and assisted on 29 more. Drury's 113 career goals are the most in BU history. Drury has gone on to a successful NHL career, which included the 1999 rookie of the year award and a 2001 Stanley Cup championship with Colorado. After captaining BU as a senior, Drury has also worn the captain's "C" for both the Buffalo Sabres and New York Rangers.

Defenseman Matt Gilroy won BU's second Hobey Baker award after a senior season in which he scored eight goals and posted 29 assists. Gilroy came to BU as a walk-on and became a three-time All-American. After winning the Hobey and national championship, Gilroy signed a two-year contract with the New York Rangers.

Forward Jack Eichel won the Hobey Baker in 2015, after putting a 71-point year in only 40 games, becoming the third BU player to win the award. He edged the two others nominees that year, Zane McIntyre from North Dakota, and Jimmy Vesey from Harvard University. Vesey went on and won it the year after. Following his stellar first year in BU, Eichel went on to be drafted second overall by the Buffalo Sabres, and would sign his entry-level contract after, putting an end to his short NCAA career.

Forward Macklin Celebrini won the Hobey Baker award in 2024, after recording 38 goals and 32 assists in 38 games, becoming the fourth BU player to win the award. At 17, he became the youngest player to win the award and the fourth freshman, following Paul Kariya in 1993, Jack Eichel in 2015 and Adam Fantilli in 2023.{{Cite web |url=https://www.nhl.com/news/macklin-celebrini-wins-2024-hobey-baker-award |title=Celebrini wins Hobey Baker Award as top NCAA men's hockey player |website=NHL.com |date=April 12, 2024 |access-date=April 12, 2024}}

† Hockey East made no distinction between first- and second-team all-conference teams from 1994–95 to 1996–97.

Travis Roy

On Oct. 20, 1995, BU raised its fourth national championship banner as it opened a new season, yet just moments later the program suffered its greatest on-ice tragedy. On that night Travis Roy, a freshman recruit who grew up in Maine, was paralyzed from the neck down just eleven seconds into his first college shift. The 20-year-old Roy crashed head-first into the boards after a University of North Dakota player, Mitch Vig, avoided his check. Roy cracked his fourth vertebra and was left a quadriplegic.

Roy missed a year of college, but ultimately returned to BU, earning a degree in communications in 2000. Roy has remained a presence with the BU hockey program, attending games and on several occasions joining his teammates on the ice to celebrate Beanpot championships. Roy, (now deceased), has become an inspirational figure for sufferers of spinal cord injuries. In 1997 he founded the Travis Roy FoundationTravis Roy Foundation http://www.travisroyfoundation.org/ to raise money for research and individual grants, and in 1998 he published an autobiography titled Eleven Seconds. Roy remains close with Coach Jack Parker.

"It's very special to be a part of the BU hockey family," Roy wrote in a new afterword in the 2005 edition of his autobiography. "Coach Parker looks after his players long after they have played their last game for him."

In October 1999, Roy's #24 was retired, and raised to the rafters of Walter Brown Arena. Roy was the only BU hockey player to have been honored with a retired number until former head coach Jack Parker's number was retired in March 2014, though Roy was the only player to have his number retired under Parker's long tenure.{{cite web|title=BU Retires Jack Parker's Number|url=https://www.bostonglobe.com/sports/2014/03/01/jack-parker-has-his-number-retired/pvsTSUd5fmpx4hdhSobdiM/story.html|website=Bostonglobe.com|publisher=Boston Globe|access-date=2015-05-11}}

Roy died on October 29, 2020, at the age of 45.{{Cite news |last=Paybarah |first=Azi |date=2020-10-30 |title=Travis Roy, Who Inspired Millions After a Hockey Tragedy, Dies at 45 |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2020/10/30/sports/hockey/travis-roy-dead.html |access-date=2025-01-06 |work=The New York Times |language=en-US |issn=0362-4331}}

Notable coaches

=Wayland Vaughan=

Wayland Vaughan coached Boston University from 1928 until 1943, compiling an 87–82–8 record. Vaughan was far from the most successful coach in terms of winning percentage, but maintained the Terriers program in the face of both the Great Depression and World War II. Without any conference affiliation, Boston University played erratic schedules, with anywhere from 10 to 15 games per season.{{cite web |url=http://www.uscho.com/stats/coachYxY.php?cid=424&gender=m |title=Statistics :: USCHO.com :: U.S. College Hockey Online |publisher=USCHO.com |date=2015-06-14 |access-date=2015-07-09 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20050210125003/http://www.uscho.com/stats/coachYxY.php?cid=424&gender=m |archive-date=2005-02-10 |url-status=dead }}

=Harry Cleverly=

Harry Cleverly, the BU coach from 1945 until 1962, guided the Terriers into the era of the NCAA tournament, which began in 1948, and brought BU to its first national championship game in 1950 and an additional three appearances in the tournament, which consisted of just four teams in those years. Under Cleverly's watch, BU helped create the Beanpot tournament and joined the ECAC hockey league.

=Jack Kelley=

Jack Kelley was the first coach to bring BU to the summit of college hockey. Kelley coached just ten seasons but appeared in four NCAA tournaments and won back-to-back titles in 1971 and 1972, his final years behind the bench. Kelley also won three ECAC regular season titles, one ECAC tournament title, and six Beanpots. Kelley recruited Jack Parker, who captained the Terriers in 1968 and became an assistant coach under Kelley.

=Leon Abbott=

Leon Abbott succeeded Kelley, and picked up where Kelley left off with a sterling 22-win season in 1972–73. However, eleven of his wins were forfeited due to an ineligible player. Six games into his second season, Abbott was abruptly fired for withholding information about two Canadian players who had played junior hockey in their home country. The ECAC had ruled them ineligible, only to be cleared to play by a judge. At a conference meeting, Abbott admitted not pressing the players to disclose the compensation they received as juniors. Although the judge hinted that the eligibility rules were unconstitutional, BU's administration was concerned enough about possible sanctions that it fired Abbott and named his assistant, Jack Parker, his successor.Kaminsky, Arthur. [https://timesmachine.nytimes.com/timesmachine/1973/12/30/93294761.pdf Ousted coach is defended in foreign player dispute]. The New York Times, 1973-12-30.

=Jack Parker=

Jack Parker is the longest-tenured and winningest coach in Boston University history. Parker's accomplishments are almost unparalleled in college sports. In 40 years, he won 876 games, the highest tally for a hockey coach who has spent his whole career at just one school, while winning 21 Beanpot titles, 11 conference tournament titles and three national championships in 1978, 1995, and 2009. Parker helped found Hockey East in 1984, when several teams broke away from the ECAC to form their own conference, and played a crucial role in building Boston University's state-of-the-art arena. The ice sheet at Agganis Arena bears his name – Jack Parker Rink. Parker was voted NCAA hockey coach of the year in 1975, 1978, and 2009, and his 30 NCAA tournament wins are among the most of all time. At the conclusion of the 2012–2013 regular season, on his birthday, Parker announced his retirement.
