Such civic disengagement...
Well, maybe it is. With his team-leading 12th, 13th and 14th goals (and only his third assist) notched against the Black Bears, the Cabot House junior has suddenly become the Crimson's go-to guy, sparking seventh-ranked Harvard (8-3-1, 6-2-1 ECAC) to a wild 7-6 win over unranked Maine (10-8-0, 7-3-0 Hockey East) before 5,409 at the Cumberland County Civic Center...
