WORLD'S FIRST BEANPOT
THE LONGEST LIST OF THE LONGEST STUFF AT THE LONGEST DOMAIN NAME AT LONG LAST

When was the world's first Beanpot?

There is a famous college hockey tournament played every year in Boston. The tournament takes place in February and due to Boston’s nickname “Beantown”, the tournament is called The Beanpot.

The same four teams play every year. Those teams are Boston College (BC), Boston University (BU), Harvard and Northeastern.

The men on the college hockey teams play on the first and second Monday of February and the women play on the first and second Tuesday. The winners of the first week go on to play against each other the following week. The losing teams also play a consolation game the following week. The winning teams are given the right to brag that they are truly the best Boston college hockey team. So when did this all start?

The first men’s tournament was held in 1953 and Harvard was crowned the winner. The first time the women played was in 1979 and that tournament was won by Northeastern.
