• WOMEN'S HOCKEY: Bulldogs start the new year with five straight wins (yaledailynews.com) — Yale’s women’s hockey team capped a five-game win streak with a road victory over Harvard in Cambridge avenging an earlier-season loss. The Bulldogs’ strong ECAC run, including shutouts of Dartmouth and Northeastern, has pushed them back into the national top 15 and tightened the conference race heading into their next home matchup.
   

• Will Eisner: A Comics Biography Seeks to Capture His Legacy (bleedingfool.com) — Two longtime comics creators who once shared the same Cambridge circles have teamed up on a new graphic biography of Will Eisner, the influential pioneer of the graphic novel. The piece praises their project but sharply criticizes perceived left-leaning figures in comics and questions whether the book will fully address Eisner’s more controversial views and late-career works.
