A Disappointment in Detroit

The Harvard hockey team traveled to Detroit over spring break seeking the NCAA Championship which had eluded it by a single goal last season. This year's Crimson didn't fare as well as last year's runner-up, falling to North Dakota in the semis and then Minnesota in the consolation game. The tournament--even for the Crimson--had some fine moments.

MACDONALD looks to take the puck the length of the ice and score. Minnesota featured skating cheerleaders and mascot.
