Strange as it seems, Monday night’s matchup between Boston College and Boston University will mark the first time the two schools have faced off in the championship game of the men’s Beanpot since 2016.

After an impressive 8-2 victory over Northeastern in the 2025 Beanpot semifinals, the Boston College Eagles men’s hockey team is looking to win its first title since 2016 as it takes on the Boston University Terriers in the championship on Monday night at TD Garden in Boston.

Monday night is the start of the 72nd Beanpot Tournament in Boston, when BC will take on Northeastern and NU will play Harvard at TD Garden. Northeastern has won two straight and five of the last six.

The No. 1 Boston College Eagles (21-4-1, 13-3-1 HE) men’s hockey team is looking to win its first Beanpot title since 2016 as it takes on the No. 8 Boston University Terriers (15-10-1, 10-6-1 HE) in the championship game on Monday night at TD Garden in Boston.
