BOSTON, Mass. – Former Crimson All-American, Hobey Baker finalist, and Beanpot champion Ted Drury will be inducted into the 2026 Men's Beanpot Hall of Fame, the Beanpot Committee announced today.
"Thank you for this honor," Ted Drury said on Monday. "The Beanpot has an incredibly rich history of players that have competed over the years so to enter the Hall of Fame feels special. I'm grateful for the tremendous coaches and teammates that made Harvard's '93 Beanpot win a night I'll always remember."
Drury scored the game-winning goal in the 1993 Beanpot just seven minutes into the third period to lift Harvard to an eventual 4-2 victory over Boston University to secure the Crimson's ninth Beanpot title. Named MVP of the 41st Beanpot, Drury became just the 10th Crimson student-athlete to be named the game's most outstanding player. Drury finished the tournament with six points in two games after a goal and three assists against Northeastern in the opening round before another goal and assist in the championship game. In his three seasons at Harvard, Drury played in two Beanpot championship games.
Drury started his career in Crimson with Ivy League Rookie of the Year honors before a monster senior season where he was named the ECAC and Ivy League Player of the Year and a first-team All-American. Despite missing his junior season after traveling with the United States Olympic team, Drury stands 25th all-time in program history in points. Serving as team captain in 1992-93, Drury led the Crimson to the ECAC Hockey regular-season title and a berth in the NCAA Tournament on his way to being a finalist for the Hobey Baker Award.
In addition to a remarkable career at Harvard, Drury also had an impressive international career. Serving as captain for the United States World Junior Team in 1990 and 1991, where he recorded 15 points in 15 games, Drury would go on to represent the United States at the World Championships in 1993, 1998 and 2003. A two-time Olympian, Drury competed in the 1992 Games in Albertville and the 1994 Games in Lillehammer.
Drafted in the second round of the 1989 NHL Draft by the Calgary Flames, Drury would go on to play 414 NHL games with the Hartford Whalers, Anaheim Mighty Ducks, New York Islanders and Columbus Blue Jackets before playing another five seasons in Europe.
Drury is the 14th Crimson to be inducted into the Beanpot Hall of Fame and the first since 2019, and joins his brother Chris who was inducted in 2009 with Boston University.
