Subject: Boston Beanpot
Message-ID:
I guess it's easy to forget that if you're not familiar
with hockey in the Boston area, you may never have
heard of the Beanpot! Not being a true local, feel
free to correct/add to any info below.
The Beanpot is a long-standing, traditional rivalry
between the four main hockey schools in Boston:
Harvard, Northeastern, Boston College, and Boston
University. The men's tournament goes as far back
as the 1930s, and the women's tourney began in 1979.
While the results of the tournament carry no weight
in NCAA league play, the winner does get bragging
rights throughout the town for a year. It's also a
way for teams who don't usually meet each other in their
division to play.
The tournament is usually played out in February over
the course of two weeks, with the men's events preceding
the women's by one day. All the teams and coaches meet
for a Beanpot Banquet a few days before the tournament,
which is a nice chance to socialize & rib each other
before the media (men's only, women's banquet doesn't
have coverage). The first round of play occurs with two
games on one day, and the finalist and third place games
occur on the same day a week later. The men's tourney
takes place before sell-out crowds at the Boston Garden,
while the women's venue rotates between the four schools
each year.
Info below is from this year's beanpot program from Northeastern.
The women's beanpot has been dominated by Northeastern,
winning the championship 11 times in 17 years. Harvard has
posted 4 wins, including last year, but will not be defending
their title this year as they were knocked out by Northeastern
in the first round. Boston College won the chance at their
first title by beating Boston Univ. this year (who has 1
Beanpot title to their credit). An oddity in the women's
history is the substitution of Brown University
for a few years in place of the temporarily vacillating club
program at BU--Brown posted a Beanpot victory in 1993--but
thanks to the BU program's resurgence and the other schools'
preference for tradition, BU is back in the tourney.
Hope this has been helpful!

Saturday afternoon at Bright the Brown Bears overpowered the Crimson of
Harvard 1-7. I always look forward to the Brown match as they have the most
talented squad of players in the ECAC. Harvard played a heck of a match and
was able to stay in the game until the third period.
The game opened with the Bears powering forward and the Crimson back-checking
like crazy. Becky Kellar (Nicole Haakenson, Katie King) opened the scoring
for Brown when her backhander found net during a power play. The 1-2-3 pass
play featured a set to the point, a pass to the slot and a redirection for the
goal. The Bears went up 0-2 when King (Nan Gorton) was allowed to roll
herself free in front of net. King's backhand slid between the goalies legs.
In the second, Harvard put on some pressure but got caught for too much "demi-
hooking." That tactic seems to be the sin of choice these days for many
teams. While it is regarded by some as "smart hockey," today the Harvard
Women paid the price with a number of Brown power play goals. The Bear's
optional sin was crashing the net. They were fortunate to not serve time for
the infraction. Meanwhile, Marcie Deering (Haakenson) put Brown further
ahead. The play was the ever-popular point pass to the slot for redirection.
The Crimson pulled one back right after that goal when Jen Gerometta (Christa
Calagione, Alice DuBois) knocked home a rebound at the near post. The Brown
defense had been sloppy in their own zone on that goal.
Harvard started to look fatigued in the final period. Brown started to time
their passes better and the result was a power play goal by Deering (Danielle
Solari, King). The play featured the point pass to the left slot and a touch
on to the right slot for the clinical finish. Lovely play! With the Crimson
on a power play, King filched the puck, drove down the left wing and release a
tremendous slap shot that exploded into the upper net off the far post and
crossbar. Wow!!! Gorton (Solari, King) made it 1-6 Bears during a four on
three power play. It was the first Brown power play to effectively spread the
attack and then hit the weak side sniper. Kellar (Gorton, Solari) concluded
the scoring when she was allowed to walk in from the point and drill her shot
off the far post. The play occurred during a spell of four on four play.
Brown has wonderful players. I feel they don't play that well as a team.
They seem to be too emotional about everything. For example, they stand the
whole game. I believe these skillful women need more direction and attacking
variations if they are to develop into the kind of powerhouse they should be.
The woman of the match was King. She is the dominate player in the ECAC.
King plays a power game that is dazzling to watch as she flows past the other
team. Ooh-la-la! The Brown woman of the match was Gorton. She gives body
and soul to the team and has become the number one digger. Gorton's skating
and stick skills are fabulous. That both of these players are not on the
women's national team is a tragedy for USA Hockey. The Bears' commanding
first line features King, Gorton and the gifted Solari. The second line is
held together by the presence of former BC player Karen Emma. She carries the
puck and skates so well. Her first-year mates are Deering and Carly Regnier.
Both showed some fine moves and clever touch. First-year defender Jamie Abel
was outstanding. A stabilizing force on the blue line Abel has excellent
skating and the ability to settle things down in her own end. Kellar was
using her superb skills as a defender today. Her movement and touch are first
class. While Kellar has fine vision, the jury is still out on how effectual
she will be as a blue liner. Libby Witchger did not face a ton of shots, but
looked solid in goal. Overall it was nice to see so much talent.
Both teams share two major flaws. Though they use different styles of play,
both coaches limit their players. Neither uses enough variation to bring out
the best skills. It is also sad that so many players are left on the bench.
The overplaying of some women leads to an unprepared team. The result is that
Harvard will probably not make the play-offs and that Brown will find it
harder than it need be.
Harvard's strong checking game made them the difficult opponent today. It was
great to see them hang in there with Brown for as long as they did. Harvard's
woman of the match was first-year forward Gerometta. She came very close to
scoring a few more goals, and was the Crimson's best attacker. Gerometta and
linemates Casi Walker and DuBois put together a good skating game. I was also
impressed with the efforts of Ellen Frump, Jenny Duval and Kyle Walsh. They
back-checked well all afternoon. The other forward who covered very hard for
the team was Stacy Kellogg. In goal, Jen Bowdoin faced the barrage and made a
number of super saves. Olivia Nottebohm displayed a lot of poise. Her
breakup plays were very good. If Nottebohm developed her skating she could be
a fine defender. Holly Leitzes demonstrated her strength by holding off the
Bear attackers. Calagione, once she got her act together, blended vigorous
defense with quick offensive burst. Overall it was an excellent team effort
by the Crimson and their best performance I have seen this year.

Sunday afternoon at Bright, the Providence College Friars defeated the Harvard
Crimson 0-6. It was not the best of matches as both teams looked weary from
the previous day's battles.
In the first period there was no scoring. The game had started with some up
and down hockey, but gradually PC put on the pressure. As the second started,
Harvard began watching more and skating less. The Friars were having trouble
getting the puck in the net primarily because their flat attack left them with
so few options. Finally first-year sensation Laurie Baker (Alana Blahoski)
made a solo dash that she finished off with a drilled shot high off the far
post. Myia Yates (Baker, Jennifer Wagner) made it 0-2 when she knocked her
chance in. At this point it was all Providence College and they were actually
rolling out of the corners! Yates (Wagner) added another goal when she
completed a good break-in play. Alison Wheeler (Karen McCabe) finished the
scoring for the middle frame when she twirled and fired low to the far post.
In the final period, Baker scored a lovely shorthanded goal. She snatched the
puck from a Harvard player and drove in on net. Baker held on to the puck
until the goalie went down at which point she shot high into the netting.
Wagner (Baker, McCabe) completed the scoring with a power play goal. A PC
point shot produced a rebound that trickled toward the goal line. Wagner
provided the final nudge.
Providence College has some wonderful talent. They are not the exciting team
that John Marchetti coached a few years ago. Gone are the days of the
marvelous swarm attack. PC looks like they are on a roll heading into the
play-offs, so maybe the players can pull out one more huge effort. The woman
of the match was Baker. She is a fast skater with a certain drive that finds
her closing in on the net all the time. Baker looks to be a sniper and is a
real presence on the ice. Team USA Women could use a stellar power forward
like Baker. Baker plays on the first line with Yates and Wagner. Together
they play a potent skate and pass game. Wheeler demonstrated her refined
passing and took her goal well. In goal Meghan Smith did not face many shots,
but looked solid. Catherine Hanson played a good game on the blue line. Her
intelligent passing helped her team move. And saving my favorite for last,
the wing-footed Blahoski was again a treat to watch. She has to be the
quickest player on ice I have seen this year. Currently the senior co-captain
is playing defense and she made a number of good breakup plays in her own
zone. Blahoski's puck movement is sublime. However for me it is a splendid
time to just watch her skate. Overall, PC could use a more interesting
attack, but they seem ready for the task at hand.
Harvard did not look very good today. They looked fatigued. The Crimson did
generate a few rushes but were mostly pinned back in their own zone. Stacy
Kellogg had another good game of back-checking. She also managed some good
breakout plays. Playing with Kellogg was first-year forward Elizabeth
Ganzenmuller. She also put together an impressive checking game today. In
goal Jen Bowdoin faced the pressure well and came up with a number of good
saves. Holly Leitzes had another strong game on defense. Her mobility lets
her help her mates in so many ways. Leitzes was the most positive force on
the ice for the Crimson. Overall, Harvard's play-off chances look slim.

The Women's Ivy League title race heated up considerably this weekend
when Cornell beat Dartmouth 4-2. This coming Saturday and Sunday may
feature the key games that decide who wins the title. On Sunday
Dartmouth hosts Brown, and the winner will be in great shape for the
Ivy title. However, if they should tie again (01/27: Brown 2 -
Dartmouth 2), Cornell will be the team with the inside edge. Cornell
has a huge game at home Saturday with Princeton. That match is also
significant in regards the ECAC League standings. As you can see
below, both Cornell and Dartmouth have three games left. Brown has
only one game left, and will be pulling for Princeton to beat both
Cornell and Dartmouth.
