James Hagens gets his second goal of the period, and it was another sweet setup from Oscar Hemming, who found Hagens on the backdoor for the tap in. The 17-year-old Hemming is playing in just his eighth game at BC after joining the Eagles for the second semester. Pretty good start to your college career.

The Eagles make it 2-0 in the first period after James Hagens hammers home a rebound from the low slot for his 13th of the season. Oscar Hemming set it up with a nifty little chip around the Harvard defender before firing one at Charette, with Hagens cleaning up the rebound.

After taking the early penalty, Aram Minnetian comes out of the box and takes it up the ice into Harvard territory. His pass was blocked by a Harvard defender’s skate, but it bounced straight onto the stick of Drew Fortescue, who ripped one past the glove of Harvard goalie Ben Charette to give the Eagles an early lead.
Fort for the first!

Here’s what you need to know heading into this year’s Beanpot.
No. 11 Boston College enters the tournament as the only team ranked in the USCHO poll, but none of the four teams are firmly within the NCAA tournament bubble, with BC sitting in the No. 12 spot in the NPI. The Eagles are on a three-game winning streak heading into Monday night, while Harvard won its last outing against RPI. BU and Northeastern have each lost three in a row to end January. Northeastern’s Dylan Hryckowian leads all four teams with 31 points (14G, 17A) in 24 games this season, including 13 points in his last 10 games.
This year marks the 73rd edition of the Beanpot, dating all the way back to 1952. Boston University is the defending champion after beating Boston College, 4-1, in the 2025 championship game.
