Harvard's storied hockey history dates back to 1898, when the
Crimson played their first game. Since then, there have been 22
Olympic selections, 27 All-American seasons and the second-most
Hobey Baker Awards of any college with three.
Two Harvard players have hoisted the Stanley Cup - George Owns
with the 1929 Bruins and Craig Adams with the 2006 Carolina
Hurricanes - but only one has ever been drafted in the first round.
Defenseman Chris Biotti (Waltham, Mass.) went 17th
overall to Calgary in 1985.
Louis Leblanc won't pull on a Crimson sweater until the fall, but
this month, he is already in a position to make himself part of
Harvard hockey lore.
