The Beanpot is an annual, mid-season college hockey tournament featuring the city's top hockey powers - Boston College,

Boston College won their first Beanpot since 2004 in a thrilling 6-5
overtime win over Harvard to capture the 2008 tournament. Freshman Brian Gibbons led the way with a pair of goals
including the game winner at 7:07 of OT on his way to being named MVP.
