After two fantastic seasons under Chippy Gaw, Princeton lost its head coach to Boston University due to the Terriers giving him control both its ice hockey and baseball teams.

Ramsay was a graduate of the University of Toronto and had played four years on the varsity team before winning a gold medal at the 1924 Olympics.

[2] Despite his glittering resume as a player, Ramsay had never coached previously but the school was hoping that his experience with hockey in Canada would translate into a higher level of play from the Tigers.

[4] After a brief period of practice in early December, the team opened the year with a match against the St. Nicholas Hockey Club.

After two more in the third period, team captain Ed Stout, who had fully recovered from a lacerated arm suffered the year before, scored the Tigers' only goal of the game.

[8] The Tigers opened their hectic week with a game against the Nichols Hockey Club, a local amateur outfit, and began with a resounding 8–4 victory.

The next day the Tigers went back to Niagara Falls for a rematch with the junior club, however, they instead found themselves set against a local senior team.

Not only had they lost five in a row but Princeton and not conquered Harvard on the ice since Hobey Baker, losing sixteen of their last eighteen meetings.

[13] The team was then supposed to take a few weeks off before returning after the exam break, however, Briarcliff Lodge was added to the schedule on short notice a few days later.

Against the aggregate made mostly out of former college players, Pricneton was finally able to breathe life back into their offense and scored 6 goals on the visitors.

When those plans fell though, an arrangement was made with Briarcliff that included a trip up to New York for a pair of return games just after the break.

The top line of Davis, Scull and Stout all scored in the rout and gave the fans hope for their upcoming rematches.

Hoping to improve on the drubbing that had received earlier, Princeton got off to a fast start but, once again, they could not solve the Yale netminder.

The own-goal proved to be the spark that lit the Crimson comeback and the visitors scored twice more before the final buzzer to take the game and end Princeton's season.

Additionally, the match with the Niagara Seniors took place on December 31 with a different final score than appears in the Princeton archives.
