Tuesday night the opening games of the 2025 Beanpot got underway, setting the stage for what is sure to be an exciting final January 21. On Tuesday, Northeastern handed Boston College a 4-2 loss to earn their spot in the final.

A former employee of Northeastern University was sentenced to one year in prison on Monday following his convicted for staging a hoax explosion in 2022 and fabricating a story about being injured after opening a package delivered to the school's campus in Boston.

The 46th women's Beanpot begins January 14 and runs through Jan. 21. The 2025 tournament marks the second year that the women's championship game will be played at TD Garden.

Federal prosecutors say a former lab manager at Northeastern University has been sentenced to just over a year in prison for staging a hoax explosion at the Boston campus and then lying about what happened to a federal agent.

Federal prosecutors had requested that prison term for Jason Duhaime, 47, writing last week that the “entire incident was a hoax orchestrated by the defendant for reasons that remain largely unclear.”
