HISTORY: A National Championship Game Between Boston College and Boston University Men’s Hockey Would Be One For The Ages

College hockey’s greatest rivalry. The Battle of Commonwealth Avenue. The Green Line Rivalry. All of that history, showcased on college hockey's biggest stage.

Whatever you want to call it, the hockey rivalry between Boston College and Boston University is unparalleled in the sport. These two schools, just four miles apart on the same street in Boston, have a shared history that’s unlike any other in college hockey. They’ve played against each other since both programs were founded in 1917-18, they’ve played for the Beanpot since 1952, and they have met at least twice every year since 1949.
