held the distinction of becoming the first coach to win national collegiate championships in two different sports. He led teams in both ice hockey and lacrosse at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, N.Y. (1949–63), where his lacrosse team captured a National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) championship in 1952 and the hockey team earned a title in 1954. He moved to Cornell University, Ithaca, N.Y. (1963–70), where his teams won ice hockey NCAA championships in 1967 and 1970; the latter squad scored a perfect 29–0–0 record, becoming the only undefeated, untied national championship team in NCAA history. He made the transition to the National Hockey League in 1970, briefly heading the Detroit Red Wings, before serving as the franchise's general manager (1973–74) and ultimately returning to college-level sports at Union College, Schenectady, N.Y (1975–77). Harkness was inducted into the U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame in 1994 and the National Lacrosse Hall of Fame in 2001.
