...award, for instance. This plastic, yellow head-bubble is what really sets the Crimson apart from the rest of the competition and what junior defenseman Caitlin Cahow deems the most coveted of the three awards.Cycling has le maillot jaune and apparently Harvard women’s hockey has an equivalent??le chapeau jaune.
