A Beanpot Full of Memories

The Hockey Notebook

Life is good again.

The Harvard hockey team captured the Beanpot tournament for the first time since 1981 last Monday night at Boston Garden, defeating Boston University, 9-6, in a wild, wild West-type of game.

Most of the 14,448 sober Garden fans (no alcohol was served) will remember the 15 goals scored, the most ever in a title game. But some will not forget other moments that made this game unforgettable:
