During the offseason, Harvard decided to withdraw from the Triangular Hockey League and cancel their annual meeting with Princeton.

[2] Due in part to this development, Princeton got a jump on their season and began training in mid-November before the Baker Rink was ready.

G Jones scored the winning goal just moments before the end of regulation, however, in order to get some additional practice time, the two teams agreed to play an unofficial overtime period afterwards.

With a 3–1 lead after one period, the team looked no worse for wear, however, the visitors charged hard in the middle frame.

Hughes was peppered by shots in the second and, though he made several big saves, the amateurs were nonetheless able to score three times and take the lead.

However, after halting the visitor's attack, Trenholm, who had returned to campus after a year away, scored three consecutive goals to give the team a win.

[8] After opening the year going undefeated in four games, the Tigers began their annual holiday trip at Madison Square Garden.

[11] The poor effort in recent matches was criticized and the school paper questioned why the team had taken an unnecessary trip to Canada when they could have just as easily spent the time at home practicing.

[13] Fueled by the charges levied against them, the Tigers entered the game against Cornell looking for blood and they took no mercy on the hapless reds.

With greater alacrity than they had shown all season, the Princeton forwards clobbered Cornell in the final two periods, outscoring them 7–0 after an even first.

Strubing and Jones each scored twice while only a masterful performance in goal from the visiting netminder prevented an even more lopsided victory.

[14] Feeling that they had been vindicated, the team returned to Madison Square Garden for their fourth and final game against a Canadian college.

While the Nassau club scored twice, the Canadians netted 5 goals in the opening period, setting the tone with far superior teamwork.

The Elis continued to that show Princeton's lack of speed was a critical failing that was made even worse when Davis was lost to injury just 2 minutes into the match.
