Men's Ice Hockey
The Gloveless Wonder
Donato, pictured here after completing his game-three hat trick against Dartmouth in the ECAC quarterfinals, potted a trio of pucks three times this season.
A Season to Remember
In 2017-2018, former Harvard standout Ryan Donato used his goal-scoring instinct to excel on the NCAA, Olympic, and NHL levels. He departs the Crimson program having made a lasting impact on the university and on all of college hockey, and that is why he is this year's Male Athlete of the Year
Eyes on the Prize
Donato's 14-game point streak to open the season, not to mention his NCAA-best 0.90 goals per game, were signs of his unique scoring ability.
On to the Next Chapter
Donato didn't have much time to reflect on his junior campaign at Harvard. Mere days after the Crimson's season ended, the forward found himself playing in front of thousands of cheering hometown fans.
Captain America
In addition to his accomplishments wearing a Harvard uniform this season, Donato wowed an ever broader audience when he donned the stars and stripes in February's Pyeongchang Olympics.
Like Father, Like Son
One of Ryan Donato's most compelling storylines throughout his Harvard career, and especially in his final season for the Crimson, was his relationship with his coach and father, Ted. In 2017, the duo was able to celebrate a Beanpot title.
Flood Warning
Rising senior Michael Floodstrand will sport the "C" for the Crimson next season, along with classmate Lewis Zerter-Gossage.
Men’s Hockey Announces Captains for 2018-2019 Season
Rising seniors and forwards Michael Floodstrand and Lewis Zerter-Gossage will wear the “C” for the Crimson, becoming the 131st and 132nd captains in program history.
Stirring the Pot
The Crimson hosted the USNTDP U-18 team in an exhibition for the second consecutive year. Lackey, Fox, Solin, and Walsh on the Harvard team all played with the program before college.
The Good and the Bad Times
The 2017-2018 edition of the men's hockey squad finished with a record of 15-14-4, and 11-8-3 in conference play.
A Bitter Beginning
Despite rallying in the second period and scoring twice to tie the game, Harvard could not hold off Yale's pressure.
Hats Off
Donato's three-spot against Quinnipiac marked the beginning of a dominant December for the forward, and extended his point streak to nine games—at the time, the length of the season.
Man of the Hour
Madsen's shutout versus RPI didn't come easy—the senior net-minder saw 32 shots come his way, but shut the door on all of them.
Cool Customer
Opponents tend to see a lot of the Crimson's shot-first offense, and Point was no exception. But the sophomore denied no fewer than 51 shots for a career best.
No Lack of Talent
Starting against the Bobcats, Lackey turned aside a career-best 41 shots for a sturdy .953 save percentage.
