1916–17 Harvard Crimson men's ice hockey season

[1] Despite the loss of wingers Kissel and Bliss[2] 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.

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.

[5] 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.

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.

[6] 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.
