Huntington Reed "Tack" Hardwick was an American football player. He played at the halfback and end positions for Harvard University. He never lost a game during his three years on the varsity, and was selected as a unanimous first-team All-American in 1914. He was elected to the College Football Hall of Fame in 1954. Later in life he co-founded the Boston Garden.

The Boston Garden was an arena in Boston, Massachusetts. Designed by boxing promoter Tex Rickard, who also built the third iteration of New York's Madison Square Garden, it opened on November 17, 1928, as "Boston Madison Square Garden" and outlived its original namesake by 30 years. It was above North Station, a train station which was originally a hub for the Boston and Maine Railroad and is now a hub for MBTA Commuter Rail and Amtrak trains.
