Green Line Rivalry
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Green Line Rivalry, also known as the B-Line Rivalry, the Battle of the Commonwealth and Battle of Commonwealth Avenue, is the name for the hockey rivalry between Boston College and Boston University. The rivalry is named after the trolley line that runs along Commonwealth Avenue and links the two schools as part of the MBTA, Boston's subway system. Begun in 1918, BU leads the series 119-102-15.
The Green Line Rivalry has also come to refer to the rivalry between BC and BU in other sports.[1] It was also previously used to designate the football rivalry between the schools, though BU terminated its football program in 1997.
