With the temporary on-campus rink not being sufficient, a new venue was built in Ives Park and practice began in earnest immediately after Christmas.
They were witness, however, to a masterful performance by the Orange netminder, Beishline, who turned away every Clarkson shot and allowed his team to win 4–0.
Even when they were missing their normal center, Jack Croskery, Tech ended their 10-game losing streak one day shy of the 2-year anniversary of their last win.
The change of venue didn't alter the result, however, and Clarkson won the game despite it devolving into a physical contest.
The vast improvement of the team over the course of the season, particularly since most of the players would be back next year, signaled good fortune for the Golden Knights in the near future.
