The 72nd Beanpot tournament final pits Boston College against Boston University, both ranked in the top 10 nationally. The rivalry is intensified as nine players from these teams, who recently won a gold medal together at the IIHF World Junior Championship, go head-to-head. Despite their prior camaraderie, players emphasize competitiveness over friendship during this crucial game. Historical performance suggests a fierce contest, with BU eager to reclaim the trophy they last won in 2022, while BC seeks their first since 2016.
It's just understanding that you can't have any friends out there. You might play with them for a while... but you just have to understand it's a hockey game.
You battle with those guys, get close to those guys, but I think we're all competitive guys. We want to win for our own school.
