...Harvard men’s hockey team’s season shaped up to look a lot like its season last year.A high-flying start to the year with early-season wins over perennial league foes like Clarkson and St. Lawrence devolved into a 17-game winless streak that lasted from November until early February. A strong performance in the Beanpot and a string of late-season wins seemed to indicate that the Crimson had a shot at the ECAC Championship and a bid to the NCAA tournament.But the seemingly miraculous turnaround screeched to a sudden stop with a first...
Although the Harvard field hockey team enjoyed some early success, a six-game losing streak at the end of the schedule spoiled what looked to be a promising season. The late-season slide, which included 1-0 losses to Cornell and Dartmouth, dropped the Crimson to 6-11 overall and 2-5 in the Ivy League, good for a fifth-place tie in the conference.

And maybe one day, the town produces another humble genius who, against all conventional wisdom, dominates the game (and our hearts) all over again...
...Hockey's on the verge of something. It's not this year, and it may not be next, but the game's renaissance era is just around the corner. You watch. It's in the air. You can feel it. Hockey's about to come back up out of the cellar and crash the net of multicultural awareness for the first time since the heady days of the dynasties. And then? Even the hardest of hearts will find something to love about a game that gives back to the spectator far more than it ever asks...
