1928–29 Bowdoin Polar Bears men's ice hockey season

The weather in recent years had not been kind to the program as many games had to be cancelled, however, every scheduled match gave the team a chance to play even if a contest were postponed to a later date.

After a fast first overtime, the game slowed down in the second 5-minute session but Bob Thayer had enough left in the tank to net the winning goal.

[4] The team headed south to see if it had improved since the previous year but ended up losing a third consecutive game to Boston University by a 3-goal margin.

[5] Bowdoin returned home to fine that the weather had been kind and gave them a perfect sheet of ice for the rematch with Bates.

Though they were sometimes called for penalties, neither team could find the net for the remainder of the contest and Bowdoin was ale to put itself into prime position for another state championship.

Not only did Bowdoin hold the Aggies to a single goal but both defensemen scored in the match, the final coming from Stone in the waning moments of the third period.

This allowed a quick shot from the Mules to tie the score 5 minutes into the third, however, Dwyer's first goal of the season with just 75 seconds left gave Bowdoin the win.

The following night Bates arrived in town but, with little to play for, coach Houser decided to use a mostly reserve lineup to give the seconds some ice time.
