Season With many of the players from the consecutive championship teams returning, it was a bit galling for Alfred Winsor to watch his team play so poorly in their first game against the Boston Athletic Association.https://www.thecrimson.com/article/1916/12/19/stiff-drill-given-hockey-men-pcoach/ STIFF DRILL GIVEN HOCKEY MEN The Harvard Crimson December 19, 1916 April 9, 2020 Despite the loss of wingers Kissel and Blisshttps://www.thecrimson.com/article/1916/12/20/boston-hockey-club-will-be-tonights/ BOSTON HOCKEY CLUB WILL BE TONIGHT'S OPPONENT The Harvard Crimson December 20, 1916 April 9, 2020 the hard practices arranged by Windsor seemed to wake up the Crimson and the team responded with a convincing 7–2 win over the Boston Hockey Club.https://www.thecrimson.com/article/1916/12/21/hockey-team-won-7-2-pthe-university/ HOCKEY TEAM WON 7-2 The Harvard Crimson December 21, 1916 April 9, 2020 After the winter break, Harvard played their first official game of the year, trouncing MIT 8–0. After a second shutout, this time over Dartmouth, Harvard left its home rink for the first time to play Princeton. The Tigers played Harvard tough all game long, attacking the Harvard net whenever they could. The first half ended with both team tied at 1, and the staunch defensive work from both goaltenders continued in the second half. Just when it looked like overtime would be needed, Princeton captain Schoen scored the winning goal with 15 seconds to play, putting a wrench in the works for Harvard's championship hopes.https://theprince.princeton.edu/princetonperiodicals/?a=d&d=Princetonian19170122-01&e=------190-en-20--21-byDA-txt-txIN-hockey----1903-- Volume 39, No. 74 The Daily Princetonian January 22, 1917 April 9, 2020 Before the rematch Harvard faced Queen's and were able to exact their revenge from a year before with a 5–1 victory. Harvard flipped the script against Princeton by scoring first and keeping the pressure on the Tiger net, but Schoen scored twice in response to give Princeton a 2–1 lead at half. Harvard was undeterred and scored three times in the third period, carrying the play for most of the second half. Schoen completed his hat-trick late in the game but it was too late to change the outcome and Harvard tied the series to keep their championship window open.https://www.thecrimson.com/article/1917/2/3/tiger-series-evened-in-hard-fought-game/ TIGER SERIES EVENED IN HARD-FOUGHT GAME February 3, 1917 April 9, 2020 A week after a shutout of McGill, Harvard began their series against Yale in New Haven, and once more the Crimson offense couldn't get on track away from Boston. Yale's goaltender, York, stifled Harvard all game long, leading the Elis to a 2–0 win and the first shutout of Harvard by a contemporary in over seven years. The victory was the first for Yale over Harvard since February 1914, but the Crimson would still have a chance to redeem themselves before the season ended. While Harvard was eager to even the series against Yale, they had to play the rubber match against Princeton first. With the game at home Harvard had the advantage, and a sterling effort from the defense allowed Wylde to record his fourth shutout of the season and gave the series to the Bostonians.https://theprince.princeton.edu/princetonperiodicals/?a=d&d=Princetonian19170226-01&e=------190-en-20--21-byDA-txt-txIN-hockey----1903-- Volume 39, No. 93 The Daily Princetonian February 26, 1917 April 9, 2020 With the Tigers thus defeated, Harvard was two wins away from another intercollegiate championship and after they evened the series with Yale by another shutout, it appeared that they were heading for a third consecutive title. Unfortunately, their final game against Yale took place at the New Haven Arena, with a rink much smaller than the Crimson were used to at the Boston Arena. With the captains for both teams sitting out, the Elis relied on their speed and tenacity to keep Harvard at bay. The tactic worked and Yale were able to shut Harvard out for the second time, winning the series 2–1.http://digital.library.yale.edu/cdm/compoundobject/collection/yale-ydn/id/5883/rec/47 Vol. XXXX No. 128 Yale Daily News March 12, 1917 April 9, 2020 Because Princeton had triumphed over Yale, the three teams found themselves locked in a three-way tie in the IHL standings. Rather than try to determine a sole champion the tie was allowed to stand, leaving 1917 without a team able to claim the intercollegiate championship.https://theprince.princeton.edu/princetonperiodicals/?a=d&d=Princetonian19170312-01&e=------190-en-20--21-byDA-txt-txIN-hockey----1903-- Volume 39, No. 105 The Daily Princetonian March 12, 1917 April 9, 2020 Wylde tied his program record with 5 shutouts on the season. His 10 career shutouts was an unofficial team record until 2005.https://d2o2figo6ddd0g.cloudfront.net/l/t/ryf5bnk767zadt/IHM_Updated_Record_Book_1819_Team_Records.pdf Harvard Men's Hockey Record Book Harvard Crimson April 9, 2020 Less than a month after the season ended, the United States formally entered World War I.
