As the season began, the biggest issue for Colby's ice hockey team was the lack of experience.
Only Bob Scott and team captain Sten Carlson were returning lettermen, though others like Irvine had played in a few games.
Lovett scored off of pass from Pollard while Scott managed to sing a long shot from rage to give the Mules a 2-goal lead after the first period.
The Blue and Grey looked fast despite their long layoff, however, with Scott still out of the lineup the offense remained unable to score.
In the waning minutes, Bowdoin scored off of a faceoff but the referee had blown his whistle just before the puck crossed the line.
In the opening minutes of the final frame, Carlson gave a hard check to Bates' Secor and knocked him off the puck.
Slow from the start, Carlson's first career goal evened the score in the opening period but the Garnet were looking for revenge.
This move was necessary for the future of the ice hockey team as the on-campus rink had proved too difficult to maintain in warm or inclement weather.
