1966: Boston University defeated Harvard, 9-2, to win their second Beanpot title, and their first championship over Harvard in four tries. Harvard opened the scoring when Dennis McCullough beat BU goalie Jack Ferreira. BU would tie the game later in the first when Mike Sobeski beat Harvard goalie Bill Fitzsimmons. It was all BU in the second as Jim Wood, John Cooke and Dennis O’Connell all scored before Pete McLachlan scored twice to give the Terriers a 6-1 lead after two. BU’s Fred Bassi and Harvard’s Tag Demment were also ejected for fighting in the period. In the third period the Terriers increased the lead to 8-1 on goals by Cooke and Don Lumley, before Harvard scored again and Terrier Bruce Fennie closed out the scoring. There were also more fights in the third. Harvard’s Ben Smith and BU’s Sobeski went at each other several times, including at the penalty boxes before being tossed. At the same time BU’s Jim Quinn and Harvard’s Bob Carr went at it and were also ejected.



1994: Boston University won the 1000th game in the program’s history as they shutout Northeastern, 8-0, in the consolation game of the Beanpot Tournament. The win was also the first of a Beanpot record 14 straight victories, as the Terriers won 6 straight Beanpot titles before falling to the Eagles, 3-5, in the 2001 championship game.
