Season Before the season began, former members of the old Intercollegiate Hockey Association (Cornell and Dartmouth) agreed to join the then current Intercollegiate Hockey League. Instead of playing a best-of-three series against all members, the new squads would only play their conference opponents once during the season. Harvard began their title defense with a tune-up game against the Boston Athletic Association just before the winter break. After returning the Crimson faced Queen's and lost a close match to their Canadian opponents. The result of the game was secondary to the response from the crowd and an appeal to the Harvard faithful was made to show up in force to the remaining contests.https://www.thecrimson.com/article/1916/1/10/give-hockey-some-support-pevery-athletic/ GIVE HOCKEY SOME SUPPORT. The Harvard Crimson January 10, 1916 April 9, 2020 In their next game against Cornell the offense played rather poorly, with many scoring opportunities failing to the wayside. The team's defense, however, was in its typical stout form. Though the Big Red were hamstrung by a lack of practice, Harvard didn't give the Ithacans any chance and shut out Cornell for their first win of the season.https://www.thecrimson.com/article/1916/1/12/seven-defeated-cornell-team-by-2/ SEVEN DEFEATED CORNELL TEAM BY 2 TO 0 SCORE The Harvard Crimson January 12, 1916 April 9, 2020 The next game against a stronger Princeton squad and Harvard had to weather a barrage from the Tigers early in the game, but Wylde and the defense turned everything aside. In the second half Princeton got into penalty trouble, allowing the Crimson to score three times with the man-advantage and take the contest 3–0.https://theprince.princeton.edu/princetonperiodicals/?a=d&d=Princetonian19160117-01.2.2&e=-------en-20--1--txt-txIN------- Volume 38, No. 346 The Daily Princetonian January 17, 1916 April 9, 2020 The rematch with Princeton one week later turned into a goaltending dual between Ford and Wylde. The two netminders kept their opponents scoreless through forty minutes of regulation and caused a pair of 5-minute overtimes to be used. Halfway through the first extra session George A. Percy finally scored the first goal of the game to give Harvard the lead. Despite a furious pushback, Princeton was unable to solve Wylde and a further Crimson goal in the second overtime gave Harvard the series win over Princeton.https://theprince.princeton.edu/princetonperiodicals/?a=d&d=Princetonian19160124-01&e=-------en-20--1--txt-txIN------- Volume 38, No. 342 The Daily Princetonian January 24, 1916 April 9, 2020 Harvard's three-game shutout streak was finally ended by McGill at the end of the month, but the Crimson were still able to win the match and head into the second half of their season with an excellent chance at winning a championship. In the match against Dartmouth, Harvard continued the season-long shutout against fellow universities and entered the series against Yale just two wins away from the intercollegiate championship. In the initial game Harvard used six substitutions and 13 saves from Wylde to tally its fifth shutout of the season.https://www.thecrimson.com/article/1916/2/14/yale-hockey-team-went-down-with/ YALE HOCKEY TEAM WENT DOWN WITH 2-0 DEFEAT The Harvard Crimson February 14, 1916 April 9, 2020 Before the rematch with the Elis, Harvard earned a somewhat surprising victory over the St. Nicholas Hockey Club who were led by Hobey Baker. The team speed, particularly from Percy, and the overall defensive effort allowed Harvard to keep their opponents at bay for most of the game and respond when their foes did manage to score.https://www.thecrimson.com/article/1916/2/21/university-hockey-team-outplayed-st-nicholas/ UNIVERSITY HOCKEY TEAM OUTPLAYED ST. NICHOLAS The Harvard Crimson February 21, 1916 April 9, 2020 The second game from Yale saw the Crimson receive a better fight that they had all year, with the Bulldogs scoring twice to end Harvard's pursuit of a perfect defensive campaign against intercollegiate competition. Yale scored first in each of the two half but Harvard responded both times with a pair of goals and Harvard skated to a series sweep against the Elis, a perfect record into intercollegiate matches and their second consecutive intercollegiate championship.http://digital.library.yale.edu/cdm/compoundobject/collection/yale-ydn/id/4350/rec/45 Vol. XXXIX No. 116 Yale Daily News February 28, 1916 April 9, 2020 John Wylde's 5 shutouts on the season was a program record (tied) for 89 years while his 1.50 goals against average was one of the best results for a Crimson netminder.
