# 1901–02 Harvard Crimson men's ice hockey season

The 1901–02 Harvard Crimson men's ice hockey season was the fifth season of play for the program.

## Season

Hopes were high for Harvard entering the season and the Crimson got off to a good start but were stymied by Yale in their third game. After defeating Princeton Harvard still had a chance to win the Intercollegiate Championship with two final games against the Bulldogs but the Elis proved to be better by taking both and ending Harvard's season on a sour note.
Though the result was disappointing the future was looking bright for Harvard; this was the last season that the Crimson would not finish with a winning intercollegiate record for 22 years.
