Season Prior to the season, in order to settle the confusion caused by using professional referees in amateur games, a meeting was held at the Harvard Club so that colleges could agree on a uniform code of rules to be observed by all.https://www.thecrimson.com/article/1929/12/9/hockey-coaches-officials-meet-to-interpret/ FIHOCKEY COACHES, OFFICIALS MEET TO INTERPRET RULES The Harvard Crimson December 9, 1929 August 27, 2020 The meeting specifically did not address the new offside rule that the NHL was implementing, though that probably was for the best as the NHL would have to alter its rule during the 1929–30 season to counteract the ballooning goal totals. In addition, Harvard began recording assists as an official statistic for this season. For the first time in 6 years Harvard did not open its season against MIT, instead they returned to their former home to play Boston University. Despite the change in opponent, Harvard still won its inaugural game though both teams weren't particularly sharp in the contest.https://www.thecrimson.com/article/1929/12/19/harvard-trims-bu-4-to-0/ HARVARD TRIMS B.U. 4 TO 0 IN DRAB INAUGURAL GAME The Harvard Crimson December 19, 1929 August 27, 2020 In their annual contests against Canadian colleges, Harvard fell to Toronto twice but then rebounded after shuffling their lineup against usual opponent MIT.http://tech.mit.edu/V49/PDF/V49-N81.pdf Hockey Team Set Back by Harvard Puckchasers 8–1 The Tech January 8, 1930 August 27, 2020 On January 8 Harvard played only the second game in the program's history against a western opponent when they faced Michigan Tech. The game was a debacle for the visitors as Harvard won 11–0 and looked well on their way to giving Yale a run for the intercollegiate championship. After another win over Boston University, Harvard welcomed Marquette to the Boston Garden on February 5 but the three-week layoff since their previous game appeared to have the Crimson champing at the bit. Harvard took 10 penalties during the game, giving Marquette two separate 5-on-3 advantages. The Crimson defense responded well, holding back the Hilltoppers through most of the game, but Marquette slowly built a 2–1 lead and carried into the third period. With only 5 minutes remaining both teams began a furious effort to score and four goals were made at the end of the game, however, Harvard couldn't catch Marquette and lost 3–4.https://www.thecrimson.com/article/1930/2/6/sparkling-close-feature-of-4-to/ SPARKLING CLOSE FEATURE OF 4 TO 3 MARQUETTE WIN The Harvard Crimson February 6, 1930 August 27, 2020 Harvard had their two series against Dartmouth and Yale remaining and redoubled their defensive efforts for the contests. In the two games against the Indians Harvard surrendered just one goal and then had a two-week wait for the showdown with their arch rival.https://www.thecrimson.com/article/1930/2/17/six-impressive-in-taking-final-green/ SIX IMPRESSIVE IN TAKING FINAL GREEN GAME, 4 TO 1 The Harvard Crimson February 17, 1930 August 27, 2020 The Elis entered the series undefeated for the second year in a row and Harvard would have the honor of trying to spoil their season once more. In the first game the two traded one-goals leads but by the end of 60 minutes the score was tied 2–2 and another overtime thriller was in the making. Harvard double-teamed Hale Palmer, the Elis' high-scoring winger, every time he touched the puck which enabled captain Putnam to score the winner early in the 10-minute extra-session.http://digital.library.yale.edu/cdm/compoundobject/collection/yale-ydn/id/154404/rec/3 Harvard Sextet Breaks Yale's Winning Streak in Unexpected Victory Yale Daily News March 3, 1930 August 25, 2020 The following week Harvard again prevented Palmer from scoring, but his work in the offensive end caused two of Yale's goals and the Bulldogs won the rematch 3–1. The playoff between the two would decide the Intercollegiate title and both teams prepared for a battle. Harvard, who had been outshone by Yale through most of the season, took two leads during the game but was unable to hold onto either for too long and, once more, overtime was required. Rather than attack, Yale held back, playing a defensive style much like Harvard and the two teams rarely threatened each other's netminders. The result was three rather dull overtime periods and the game ended in a draw.http://digital.library.yale.edu/cdm/compoundobject/collection/yale-ydn/id/154472/rec/13 Harvard Defense Holds Firm Against Assaults in Three Overtime Periods Yale Daily News March 3, 1930 August 25, 2020 Plans for a fourth and (hopefully) deciding game began immediately after the contest was over. A few days later, after a conference between the athletic directors of each school, W. J. Bingham of Harvard ultimately decided to end the Crimson's ice hockey season and leave the two without a clear victor. 1930 was the first time since 1900 that Harvard and Yale's ice hockey teams finished with a draw over the course of a season.https://www.thecrimson.com/article/1930/3/15/harvard-yale-ice-supremacy-will-remain-undecided/ HARVARD-YALE ICE SUPREMACY WILL REMAIN UNDECIDED The Harvard Crimson March 15, 1930 August 27, 2020 The result was that both teams had claims to the eastern intercollegiate championship and would have to share the crown.
