  • Beanpot Tournament
    For immediate release: Tuesday, January 29, 2020 Four To Be Inducted Into Women’s Beanpot Hall of Fame Joe Bertagna, Casey Pickett, Reagan Rust and Kelli Stack Are Latest Honorees BOSTON, MA - Four unique contributors to the oldest college hockey tournament for women will be recognized as 2020 Women’s Beanpot Hall of Fame inductees, when the event comes to Boston University’s Walter Brown Arena next month. This year’s honorees are Joe Bertagna, Harvard Class of 1973; Casey Pickett, Northeastern Class of 2013; Reagan Rust, Boston University Class of 2019 and Kelli Stack, Boston College Class of 2011. This year’s induction ceremony will take place on Tuesday, February 4, 2020, between opening round games. Joe Bertagna, Harvard University, Class of 1973 – Joe Bertagna, a goaltender for coaches Cooney Weiland and Bill Cleary at Harvard, launched Harvard's women's ice hockey program in 1977-78, serving as head coach at his alma mater for two seasons. He was one of four coaches who created the Women’s Beanpot Tournament. Beginning with this experience, Bertagna has dedicated his professional years to advancing the interests of women's ice hockey. He even purchased the original Beanpot (see right) from an Essex, MA, antique shop in 1977 and had it mounted to create the first Women’s Beanpot Trophy. A native of Arlington, MA, Bertagna has served the game as coach, administrator and journalist, both at the amateur and professional levels. He is in his 38th year as a college hockey administrator (15 years with ECAC and 23 with Hockey East) and has served as Tournament Director of the Women’s Beanpot since its inception in 1979.
