Women's Beanpot (ice hockey)
Starting in 1979, the Women's Beanpot takes place each year on the first two Tuesdays in February. The first tournament was hosted at Northeastern's Matthews Arena, where the Huskies won 3-1 against Boston College. Northeastern and Harvard have won the majority of tournaments, with 17 and 15 titles, respectively. Boston College follows with 8 championships, then Boston University with 2 and Brown with 1. The Northeastern Huskies are the most recent champions, defeating BC 2-1 in the 2023 tournament. The four competing schools rotate hosting the women's games.

The Northeastern Huskies have the most Women's Beanpot wins out of the four teams with 17. Out of the first 13 tournaments, they took home 10 championships, with an eight-win streak from 1984-1991. They most recently won the title in 2023, winning 2-1 against BC and sweeping both men's and women's tournaments for the Huskies.
