This was the first time that the team had used someone who was a professional coach and Hunter had years of experience at the college level.

Owing to the poor ice, only four games were scheduled, but even then, the first against Pennsylvania had to be cancelled.

The teams fought to a 1–1 draw after two halves and then exploded offensively in overtime.

Army lost their starting center, Woods, to a broken ankle and O'Shea was put in his place for the final two games.

Despite the record, Army showed improvement under Hunter and the belief was all that was needed for the team to take the next step was suitable weather.
