Gosselin: Let's celebrate college hoops, Dallas -- why an annual tourney featuring locals would work

The Beanpot Tournament has been around for 63 years.

It brings together the four college hockey teams of Boston -- Boston College, Boston University, Harvard and Northeastern -- for a four-game, two-weekend tournament in February. It's a celebration of college hockey in Boston.

The Great Lakes Invitational is another legendary college hockey tournament that brings its local teams together in December. Michigan, Michigan State and Michigan Tech are always in the field along with a fourth state school, either Ferris State, Lake Superior State or Western Michigan. The 50-year-old tournament also is a celebration of college hockey in Detroit.
