Hockey

A Cornell-Harvard hockey game plays an important role in the first half of the novel and film Love Story, whose protagonist, Oliver Barrett, is a Harvard undergraduate and member of the Crimson hockey team, and whose author, Erich Segal, is a Harvard alumnus. In the movie, Harvard's hockey team loses to Cornell's. Although exterior post-game shots were filmed on the Cornell campus, they showed characters exiting Barton Hall, the old armory where Cornell played basketball at the time, rather than Lynah Rink.

In commemoration of Cornell's victory in that fictional game, the Cornell Big Red Pep Band plays the theme from Love Story when Harvard takes the ice before the first two periods of each game.
