Team captain Ed Garrity wrote an op-ed in the student newspaper, presenting a case for great optimism for the program.

One of the biggest reasons for his assertion was that all of the players who were on the previous year's (claimed but unrealized) championship team were back with the Eagles.

BC outplayed the men from Montreal and strangled the McGill offense with the outstanding play of Garrity and Leo Morrissey.

[4] The Eagles were feeling even better about their prospects after the auspicious start and seemed to take MIT a bit lightly a few weeks later.

The following night, the team faced Red Synnott's Victorias Hockey Club and the Eagles resumed their early-season form.

Culhane's second goal of the evening finished off the scoring and turned BC into the prohibitive favorites for the intercollegiate title.

[5] Despite a two-week gap in their schedule, the Eagles were unable to add any games and had to contend themselves with practice sessions until the 26th when they met Boston University.

Nearly two periods passed before the eagles could respond and it was former captain, Leo Hughes, who was the hero of the night by tying the match in the waning moments.

BU was unable to get a repeat performance from their goaltender and surrendered 7 goals to fully-powered eagles, extending BC's unbeaten streak to six.

The anticipation for the game caused spectators to pack themselves into the Boston Arena and watch as the large Canadians took on the smaller, but faster, Eagle sextet.

Foley and Culhane appeared to skate rings around the Gaels and distracted the Queen's defenders long enough for Hughes to pot two goals.

Meanwhile, Len Morrissey, Garrity and Fitzgerald played one of the best defensive games ever seen from a college team and held the Gales to a single goal.

Similar to the Boston Hockey Club, Nichols was stocked with former college stars and would prove a much tougher challenge than the other two New York teams.

Fitzgerald proved to be the deciding factor in both games, holding on to a narrow lead in the first that was provided by Leo Hughes, the BC netminder then shutout Nichols in the rematch to give the team a clean sweep of their road trip.

BC was constantly having to play a stout defense to hold off Duluth that, though it succeeded, curtailed their efforts to tie the game.
