By: Savanna Arral
In a must-win game at St. Lawrence Friday night, Harvard men’s hockey came up short, disappointing the few fans that made the trek up to Canton, NY to watch them play. Essentially repeating their previous game this season against the Saints, the Crimson fell 5-1 at Appleton Arena and dropped to fifth in the ECAC rankings, tied with the Colgate Raiders.

By Anton Khodakov
Last year, we at WHRB had a lot of fun putting together a
team of the best names in the conference. So we’re going to do it again! Last
year’s selections are obviously ineligible. Presenting our 2014 ECAC All-Name Team:
Emilio Audi, F, Union
Matt Buckles, F, Cornell
Gunnar Hughes, F, St. Lawrence

The regular season is over and Harvard has drawn Yale in the
first round. But before the playoffs begin, it’s time for a week’s worth of
blog posts looking back at the season.
First, our 2014 WHRB
All-ECAC Team.

The Crimson have doubled their conference points from the
first fourteen games in the last four. They’ve also tied their year-end mark
from 2012-2013 and are suddenly somehow one point away from home ice in the
first round. In other words, yet another frantic February run in Boston! Here’s
a look at the rest of the conference. As usual, all rankings come from the

The Crimson have a critical stretch of games in front of
them, starting with tonight’s matchup against their hated rivals—Cornell. Before the
Beanpot begins, Harvard will face four consecutive conference opponents, a
stretch that will leave only 30% of the ECAC schedule remaining. Now, and not
February, is the time to move into the middle four slots in the conference
table Savanna Arralhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00880283108520776522noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9161276250551354893.post-91510456363348727372014-01-10T11:04:00.003-05:002014-01-10T11:04:58.516-05:00Ivy League Basketball Power RankingsBy: Ben Zauzmer
The non-conference games for Ivy League basketball teams are
far from scrimmages. They affect March Madness seeding, they give teams a
chance at an at-large tournament bid, and they can raise the profile of Ivy
League basketball.
But let’s be realistic. Probably, no matter what happens in
non-conference play, the Ivy League champion will be relegated to a low seed.
Probably, Savanna Arralhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00880283108520776522noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9161276250551354893.post-74112075030949560902013-11-30T01:27:00.004-05:002013-11-30T01:27:52.916-05:00Thanksgiving Power RankingsBy: Anton Khodakov
We here at WHRB hope all of our listeners enjoyed their
Thanksgiving breaks. So far, we have too, with the Crimson taking down the
University of New Hampshire by a 6-3 tally on Tuesday night. Ahead of the
Crimson’s matchup with their more familiar New Hampshire rivals, Dartmouth, we
present our Thanksgiving ECAC Power Rankings.

With two weeks to go, the 2013 Ivy League football race is
anything but settled. Five teams can still compete for at least a share of the
title, and no one has clinched a share. Here, WHRB football color commentator
Ben Zauzmer takes you through the best and worst case scenarios for each team.

What better time for our first power rankings of the year
than the day of the season’s first conference match-up? Harvard visits RPI
tonight to open up ECAC play. Here are our rankings with non-conference records
on the season so far.

The media has a habit of glancing at last year’s Ivy League standings and calling that the preseason poll. Penn won last year and not many key players graduated, so surely Penn will win this year, right? Trouble is, college football is a lot more complicated and random than that. Were Penn’s wins really all that impressive? Were Harvard’s graduations really that costly?

The Big Red are riding a 4-1-1 streak into the playoffs. The Tigers had been heading the other way, but they cobbled together a three-pointer last weekend. These two last met a month ago; Princeton limped away from Lynah with a 1-0 win on the back of a Mike Condon's 39-save shutout.
