The Terriers advanced to the championship game for the 57th time when they took down the Harvard Crimson 7-1 in the semifinals. Boston University is 31-25 in Beanpot finals. This will be the 23rd time the two rivals have met in the Beanpot Final. BU is 12-10 in championship games against the team from Chestnut Hill.

BC and BU will mark the first time the two schools have faced off in the championship game of the men’s Beanpot title since 2016.

Coming out of the weekend, BC was first in the Hockey East standings and BU third. That puts the rivals on a collision course for another clash in next month’s tournament final.
