1910–11 Cornell Big Red men's ice hockey season

Despite not having ice to practice on early in their season{{cite web|title=Volume XXXI, Number 56 |work=The Cornell Daily Sun |url=https://cdsun.library.cornell.edu/?a=d&d=CDS19101202.2.5&e=-------en-20--1--txt-txIN------- |date=December 2, 1910 |accessdate=February 2, 2020}} the team was able to coalesce around a core of returning players. Returning to school for his senior season was Jefferson Vincent who had to earn his way back onto the team through several cuts and a demotion to the second squad.{{cite news|title=Jefferson Vincent: Elusive Winged Hero |url=http://cornellhockeywaft.weebly.com/home/jefferson-vincent-elusive-winged-hero |work=Where Angels Fear to Tread |date=May 26, 2015 |accessdate=February 3, 2020}} The potent combination of Vincent and Magner turned out to be instrumental in Cornell's success for the year.

The Big Red opened with a three-game series against Yale for the second consecutive year, this time playing in Chicago. Though the games were close Cornell was able to win each match. Magner and Crassweller played particularly well while Vincent recorded a hat-trick in the second game.{{cite web|title=Volume XXXI, Number 73 |work=The Cornell Daily Sun |url=https://cdsun.library.cornell.edu/?a=d&d=CDS19110104&e=-------en-20--1--txt-txIN------- |date=January 4, 1911 |accessdate=February 2, 2020}} On their way back east Cornell stopped in Cleveland for a two-game series against local colleges, winning both handily. Vincent notched his second 3-goal game against Western Reserve but it was Magner who starred with 5 scores to his credit.{{cite web|title=Volume XXXI, Number 74 |work=The Cornell Daily Sun |url=https://cdsun.library.cornell.edu/?a=d&d=CDS19110105&e=-------en-20--1--txt-txIN------- |date=January 5, 1911 |accessdate=February 2, 2020}}

Cornell opened its conference slate against defending champion Princeton and downed the Tigers with Magner and Vincent each providing 2 goals.{{cite web|title=Volume XXXI, Number 82 |work=The Cornell Daily Sun |url=https://cdsun.library.cornell.edu/?a=d&d=CDS19110116.2.1&e=-------en-20--1--txt-txIN------- |date=January 16, 1911 |accessdate=February 2, 2020}} After downing Yale for the fourth time that season Cornell entered the pivotal match against Harvard with a chance at their first championship. Both teams had shown themselves to be at the top of the collegiate hockey world with a combined 12–1 record{{cite web |title=Harvard Men's Hockey year-By-year results |work=Harvard Crimson |url=https://www.gocrimson.com/sports/mice/2018-19/files/IHM_Updated_Record_Book_1819_Year_by_Year.pdf |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200204175843/https://www.gocrimson.com/sports/mice/2018-19/files/IHM_Updated_Record_Book_1819_Year_by_Year.pdf |url-status=dead |archive-date=February 4, 2020 |accessdate=February 2, 2020 }} and the winner was largely expected to claim the championship that season. The two teams fought a mostly even match with regulation ending in a 2–2 draw, but in the overtime Jefferson Vincent provided Cornell with perhaps its biggest single moment when he scored the game-winning goal.

While Cornell had two more game to play, they were against the comparatively weaker Columbia and Dartmouth clubs. Both Magner and Vincent again scored twice in the team's shutout of Columbia{{cite web|title=Volume XXXI, Number 95 |work=The Cornell Daily Sun |url=https://cdsun.library.cornell.edu/?a=d&d=CDS19110211&e=-------en-20--1--txt-txIN------- |date=February 11, 1911 |accessdate=February 2, 2020}} while a 5–1 win over Dartmouth sealed Cornell's first IHA championship.

The planets did seem to align for Cornell in 1911 as their 10 wins was the highest total the team would reach for over 50 years (they wouldn't even play 10 games in a single season again until 1940).{{cite web |url=https://s3.amazonaws.com/cornellbigred.com/documents/2015/3/13/All_Time_Results.pdf |title=Year-By-Year results |work=Cornell Big Red |accessdate=December 30, 2019}} None of their games were played at home, owing to the extended road trip and the poor quality of ice on Beebe Lake, but having star forward Jefferson Vincent on the team a year after he should have already graduated was an offensive boon for the Big Red.
