The large success in men's ice hockey tournament encouraged Beanpot to arrange other sports including women's ice hockey, softball, baseball, men's and women's soccer, women's cycling and rowing. Apart from these four contestants, Boston College Office of Undergraduate Admission and Boston University Office of Undergraduate Admission also played in July in the annual Beancan softball tournament. Its is true that the name Beanpot is related to the men's ice hockey but actually it means a deep, wide-belied, short necked vessel made up of ceramic and are used for cooking. Traditionally these are related with New England, mainly in Boston, Massachusetts. Because of that the name Beanpot is used for one Boston event as Beanpot Ice Hockey tournament.
