John “Jack” Grinold ’57 has been inducted into the Beanpot Tournament Hall of Fame as its 53rd member. The Beanpot Tournament is Boston’s 60-year-old ice hockey tournament, which pits Boston College, Harvard University, Boston University and Northeastern University against each other in the quest for the Beanpot trophy (a replica of a pot for cooking beans). Grinold has been the associate athletic director for communications at Northeastern University for more than 50 years and is the secretary of the annual Beanpot tournament. “Jack has the biggest picture of our Beanpot,” TD Garden Vice President of Events Steve Nazro said. “He sees the event in the context of Boston sports, and what it means to the complete fabric of college athletics … He is the soul of the Beanpot.” Grinold has garnered numerous accolades over his career, including being honored by Northeastern as one of the 100 people responsible for the university’s growth and success. In 2003, Grinold was inducted to the New England Basketball Hall of Fame and in 2009 to the Massachusetts Hockey Hall of Fame. In 2008, Grinold and his wife, Cathy, established a $1 million endowment at Northeastern for men’s rowing. Grinold’s comments are included in the tribute video, “Sid Watson: The Legacy of a Coach.”
