1928–29 Colgate men's ice hockey season

The team played terribly in the first period, allowing three goals against in a span of just 3 minutes, but they soon found their skating legs and made a game of it for the rest of the contest.

Unfortunately, due to inclement weather, the team was unable to continue its exhibition calendar and had to cancel the rest of their January matches.

Hampered by a lack of practice time leading into the match, the Maroons were overwhelmed by one of the top teams in college hockey.

After allowing the opening goal, Howe tied the game in the second but, with the rest of the team unable to score, the Maroons lost again.

[7] The Maroons carried their newfound confidence into the next game with St. Lawrence and won an overtime match thanks to the exploits of Howe and Hofheins.

After a pile-up in front of the Cornell net, Earnie Paul disentangled the jumble of players only to find the puck in the cage.

[8] Colgate was suddenly sitting in a position to finish the year with a winning record and had just Hamilton left to contend with.

A penalty by Spelder gave Hamilton a chance in the extra session but Chambers kept the puck out of the goal and enabled Hofheins to score with just over a minute left.
