A couple of premier college hockey programs face off on Monday, Feb. 10 when the No. 1 Boston College Eagles take on the No. 9 Boston University Terriers in the Beanpot Championship at TD Garden in Boston.

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.

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.

BU took BC’s early roundhouse punch and leaned on goalie Mikhail Yegorov to stun the top-ranked Eagles, 4-1, in the Beanpot championship on Monday.

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.

BC scored first, but BU seized control in the second period and never looked back against its Commonwealth Avenue rival.

Fowler won three games when the U.S. team captured the gold medal in the 2024 IIHF Junior World Championships and was a third-round pick of the Montreal Canadiens in the 2023 NHL SuperDraft. Fowler is at his best in the biggest arenas under the brightest lights.
