The trio, who were all drafted in 2012 by NHL clubs, started by playing gym hockey as kids in the St. Mary’s Church basement on Warren Street. Now they’re in the NCAA Division 1, vying for the Boston’s prized collegiate pot of beans at the infamous TD Garden.

“The first two Monday nights of February in Boston are reserved for the Beanpot,” according to the event’s website. It is considered “the official battle for Boston’s hockey bragging rights.”
