History

The Triangular League followed a similar pattern to the Intercollegiate Hockey League, which had existed before World War I but rather than expand to include other teams as they had previously, the Trianular league remained a 3-team conference. The future Ivy League squads were typically considered the cream of college ice hockey during the 1920s and, as a result, the League champion would often claim to be the Eastern hockey champion.[1] The League lasted seven years and ended when Harvard and Princeton discontinued their season series in 1927.[2]

gollark: Fascinating. I'll look into "dune" and see if it actually has libraries now?
gollark: ... no.
gollark: If you have children how will you find time to read esoteric type theory papers‽
gollark: Children also require large amounts of time investment and have been alleged to make your life hellish for the first several years and annoying beyond that.
gollark: For example, children require large amounts of money in upkeep. That money could be spent on better things, such as high-end graphics cards.
