Since my first day as a sports editor of The Crimson, I have had but one goal: to convince the newspaper to pay for me to jet off to some faraway destination to cover a Big-Deal Game.
Okay, maybe I’m exaggerating. But by picking up women’s hockey as my first-ever beat, I knew I was drafting a winner. After all, in my first season as a writer, the team made it all the way to the NCAA Frozen Four. My older and wiser co-writer got to make that free trip to Duluth (though as he will readily remind me, Duluth in March is far from a glamorous destination) and ever since, I’ve been patiently waiting for my turn.
As it turns out, not every season can be a fairy tale like 2007-08 was for Harvard women’s hockey. The Crimson has continued to be a powerhouse in the ECAC, winning the regular-season title in 2009 before placing third last year, extending its streak of finishing third or better in the conference to eight straight seasons.
