Jeff Jacobs: As college hockey tournament becomes reality, Connecticut should embrace our own Beanpot
>>At long last, it appears to be happening. According to multiple sources, the four Connecticut Division I men’s hockey teams are set to play in a two-day tournament on a Friday and Saturday in late January 2020 at Webster Bank Arena in Bridgeport.
The tournament agreement is said to be for two years and that SNY is involved in the presentation of the event. A press conference is expected in the coming weeks.<<
What: All-Connecticut Division I college hockey tournament
When: Jan. 24-25, 2019
Where: Webster Bank Arena in Bridgeport
Who: Yale, Quinnipiac, UConn, Sacred Heart
Name: To be determined, but possibilities include Connecticut Cup or Nutmeg Cup or Taylor Tournament (named after former Yale coach Tim Taylor).
Future: Schools have reportedly agreed to a two-year trial in Bridgeport. The tournament could rotate to the XL Center in Hartford or to campus rinks at Yale and Quinnipiac.
Model: Boston’s Beanpot, which features Boston University, Boston College, Northeastern, and Harvard playing at the TD Garden the first two Mondays in February. The tournament began in 1952.
