Union received some welcome news at the start of the season as the city decided to build a new temporary ice rink atop the tennis courts in Central Park.

While eleven of the twenty five candidates were freshman and would not be eligible to play until after the February exams, the continued interest would help keep the sport alive on campus.

After the new year, Union's president, Frank Parker Day, announced that the school would adopt a new rule barring freshmen from participating in varsity sports.

Here, the superior depth of the Ephs came into play as Williams made many substitutions in the final frame and the fresh legs enabled the Purple to score four goals in quick succession to take the match.

Union held the edge until the waning moments of the third when Hamilton managed to slip the puck past Foster and send the match to extra time.

First, the Dutchmen were forced to play St. Lawrence on Rensselaer's rink but rather than being disadvantaged by the large surface, the Garnet thrived with the open ice.
