‘IT’S DO OR DIE NOW’ An Oral History of the 2020 Men’s Beanpot Final BY MICHAEL RUBERTO PHOTO BY SARAH OLENDER
O
n February 10th, 2020, the Northeastern men’s hockey team, on the heels of a decisive 3-1 win against the Harvard Crimson a week before, defeated the rival Boston University Terriers in a harrowing double overtime showdown to become the Beanpot champions. Though it was the program’s 7th time hoisting the trophy since their first win in 1980, this victory represented something more – it was the third time the Huskies won the title in as many years. Looking back on the game which made them three-peat champions, freshman forward Aidan McDonough, sophomore defenseman Jordan Harris, junior forward Zach Solow, senior defenseman and captain Ryan Shea, and senior goaltender Craig Pantano share some of their memories and perspectives from their battle at TD Garden.
