Beanpot Results
Boston University is sometimes jokingly referred to as “Beanpot University” 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 trophy 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 57 Beanpots played since the 1952-1953 season, Boston University has been victorious on 29 occasions, winning more than half the time. The Terriers have won 15 of the past 20 tournaments, and 28 of the 44 Beanpots since 1966. The Terriers' last win came in 2009 as they defeated Northeastern University 5-2 in the final round.

Famous quotes containing the word results:
“There is not a single rule, however plausible, and however firmly grounded in epistemology, that is not violated at some time or other. It becomes evident that such violations are not accidental events, they are not results of insufficient knowledge or of inattention which might have been avoided. On the contrary, we see that they are necessary for progress.”
—Paul Feyerabend (1924–1994)
