The Big Red began the decade with three winning seasons and one NCAA tournament berth in 2011-2012. Since 2015-2016, Cornell has had four straight winning seasons, with the last three over .600. In 2017-2018, the Big Red won the regular season title for the first time since 2004-2005, and in 2018-2019 they were an overtime goal away from their first league tournament title since 2009-2010. Cornell made the NCAA tournament four times in the decade, including the last three seasons. Cornell beat Northeastern in the first round of the 2018-2019 NCAA tournament, before losing to Providence in the East Region final.. – drshoen

The Tigers had a good start to the decade, beating defending national champion BC before falling to Michigan in 2011 in the West Regional. They followed that up with another strong season in ’11-’12, with a record of 18-16-2. But CC has not had a winning record since, going 70-135-22 from ’13-’14 to last season. Long-time coach Scott Owens resigned after the ’13-’14 season, handing over the reins to Mike Haviland, who hasn’t had a +.500 season although the team has improved to double digit wins the past two seasons and made their first trip to the NCHC Frozen Faceoff last season. The Tigers look to improve again this season with two grad transfers joining the team (and losing one grad transfer). Anything less than a winning season will likely result in a fall in these rankings. – SiouxfaninSeattle

The Crimson started the decade slowly, finishing below .500 in three of the first four years. In 2014-2015, the turnaround began, with a league tournament title and a return to the NCAA tournament for the first time since 2005-2006. The next four seasons brought continued success, with three NCAA tournament appearances (including a trip to the Frozen Four in 2016-2017). Harvard also won the regular season and tournament in 2016-2017, and (perhaps most importantly) won the Beanpot tournament, defeating Boston University in the final. – drshoen
