...Friday night at the Bright Hockey Center, the Harvard men’s hockey team quickly silenced any talk that two weeks off the ice could be detrimental to its playoff run.In the first game of the ECAC tournament quarterfinals, No. 17 Crimson (15-11-4, 12-7-3 ECAC) crushed Quinnipiac with an 11-0 shutout.

Averaging over 3.56 goals per game and only .91 against, Harvard left nothing up for chance. With such impressive statistics, the Crimson has no reason to change its strategy moving in to the playoffs...
...elite national reputation and lofty academic standards. It clearly can be done. Simply look to our hockey team, which has consistently been one of the nation’s top 15 programs, winning a NCAA title in 1989, making the Frozen Four multiple times, and qualifying for the NCAA tournament, a field of the countries top 16 teams, five of the last six years.
