Chambers’ absence was felt on and off the court

While a significant portion of the team lacks big-game experience—or college experience in general—the 2016-2017 roster could go down as the one of the most talented of the Tommy Amaker era.

​The Harvard women’s hockey team doesn’t believe in rebuilding years. After graduating five seniors last year and recruiting six new freshmen to the ice in Cambridge, the team is prepared to prove wrong those who view the 2016-2017 season as one solely for growth.

​Hobey Baker winner Jimmy Vesey ’16 is now a member of the New York Rangers. Not to mention, two-year captain Kyle Criscuolo has departed as well.​ But fear not Cambridge, for the Bright lights are not to be extinguished just yet. A new act is in town, and it’s ranked No. 12 in the nation.

The Harvard women’s basketball team may have lost its three best players to graduation, but this year’s squad is looking to make history, not excuses.
