BOSTON – The 63rd annual men’s Beanpot Tournament consolation and championship rounds to be held at TD Garden on Monday, Feb. 9, will be postponed until Monday, Feb. 23, due to incoming weather.
The Boston College vs. Harvard consolation game will remain scheduled for 4:30 p.m. while the Northeastern – Boston University championship contest is still slated for 7:30 p.m.
The 2015 Beanpot marks the fourth postponement in the tournament’s history, including last week's delay. Last week, the opening round of the 63rd annual Beanpot Tournament was pushed to Tuesday, Feb. 3, from its original date of Monday, Feb. 2.
In the 1983 Tournament, the semifinal round was also pushed to Tuesday and was contested on Feb. 8. Boston College defeated Northeastern, 8-2, in the championship bout on Monday, Feb. 14. The Blizzard of 1978 also created a postponing, pushing the championship and consolation rounds of the 1978 Beanpot to Wednesday, March 1, 1978. The famous ‘blizzard games’ were played that Monday, Feb. 6, 1978.
The women’s Beanpot championship be staged at Harvard University is annually played on the first two Tuesdays of February. That tournament’s schedule hopes to remain intact. The women's team will take on Harvard on Tuesday, Feb. 10, at 7:30 p.m.
