It’s been 30 years since the Huskies last claimed Boston’s college hockey bragging rights. And with a 5-2 victory over longtime nemesis Boston University in the 66th Beanpot final on Monday night, they were ready to celebrate.

Northeastern junior Adam Gaudette had been strongly considered for the US Olympic team, which would have meant playing in PyeongChang this week. But Gaudette was good with remaining at Northeastern University, lifting the Beanpot trophy instead of having a chance for Olympic hardware.

On Monday night, the Northeastern Huskies ended their Beanpot drought, beating the Boston University Terriers 5-2. Outside TD Garden, jubilant fans celebrated the long-awaited victory.

Earlier this week, Northeastern coach Jim Madigan said his team needed to win the Beanpot to become “relevant” again in the 66-year-old tournament. Consider last night’s 5-2 victory over crosstown rival Boston University mission accomplished as the Huntington Hounds claimed their first title since 1988.

The drought is over. Ushered in with spectators throwing their hats on the ice and Northeastern skaters piling on top of each other in celebration, the Huskies won their first Beanpot championship in 30 years – their fifth overall – with an emphatic 5-2 win over Boston University.

Adam Gaudette had a hat trick and Cayden Primeau stopped 38 shots on Monday night to lead Northeastern to a 5-2 victory over Boston University in the 66th Beanpot championship game.
