Drury Enters Harvard Hall of Fame

Boston, Mass. -- Former Crimson standout Ted Drury was among six individuals comprising the Harvard Varsity Club Hall of Fame Class of 2008. The individuals were honored at the annual Harvard Varsity Club Hall of Fame Dinner Friday, May 9, held at the Harvard Club of Boston.

Drury '93 was joined by Elizabeth Berkery Drury '93 (Lacrosse), Sarah Leary '92 (Lacrosse), Erin Maher Salvador '93 (Basketball), Mike Smith '81 (Soccer), and Larry Terrell '70 (Squash).

In a program known for great players and teams, Drury wasted little time establishing himself freshman year, taking home the Percy Award (Harvard's top freshman), Ivy League Rookie of the Year and ECAC All-Rookie Team accolades. He only played 74 total games but stands 22nd on the school career points list (121), 8th on the school single-season points list (63 in 1992-93), and 6th for single-season assists (43).

Serving as team captain in 1992-93, Drury led the Crimson to the ECAC regular-season title and a berth in the NCAA Tournament. In 1992-93, he was named the Beanpot MVP, after leading the Crimson to the Beanpot title, and was awarded the Tudor Cup as Harvard's MVP. That same year he was selected as first team All-Ivy, first team All-ECAC, and first team All-American. In 1992-93, Drury was also the Ivy League Player of the Year, the ECAC Player of the Year, and a Hobey Baker Award Finalist. He was named to the ECAC All-Decade Team for the 1990's and went on to compete for the United States in the 1992 and 1994 Olympics and play nine seasons in the National Hockey League.
