Contents

It is the oldest college hockey tournament operating at the non-varsity level and one of the oldest extant tournaments for any level of play.

History

Navy Hockey began as an informal student group in the early 1960s and was officially formed as a club (non-varsity) sports team in 1971. [1] In 1975, Steven Gordon became the head coach of the hockey program. Gordon, a former goalie at Northeastern University in the 1970s, had played in the Beanpot tournament in Boston. He and the team created their own version of the competition for the 1977–78 season. [2] The original tournament was slatted to include Ramapo College, the University of Delaware, and Penn State University. [3] Penn State was eventually replaced with Rutgers University.

Crowds of hundreds to thousands regularly attend the two-day tournament at the Naval Academy. [4] In its early years the Crab Pot regularly overlapped with Super Bowl weekend, with the championship game coinciding with the NFL game. This tradition was abandoned in the 1980s and now the tournament regularly takes place in mid-February. Initially the Crab Pot sometimes included varsity NCAA teams. However the majority of the tournament field, and in later years the entirety, has been made up of other non-varsity programs.

The winning team receives the Crab Pot Trophy and has its name hung on a large banner above the ice rink. [5]

Format

The tournament is two rounds over two days, with the first day having all four participants play in semifinal games. The second day features the consolation game and the championship game.
