Dartmouth College Hockey: Northern Ice

by David Shribman, Jack DeGange

Overview

In 1905, facing capricious weather on a primitive outdoor rink, Dartmouth�s first hockey team took to the ice. In 1974, two years after coeducation came to the Hanover campus, Dartmouth women�fired with more competitive spirit than actual hockey experience commandeered the used equipment of their male counterparts and intramural skaters and became one of the college�s most successful athletic teams. Dartmouth College Hockey: Northern Ice portrays two programs that have followed parallel paths to distinction in intercollegiate hockey. Rupert Thompson Arena, one of the nation�s premier collegiate ice facilities, is home to the men and women of Dartmouth who have won numerous championships and earned All-American and Olympic acclaim, contributing to Dartmouth�s rich tradition of athletic achievement.
