While the program made its return following World War II the year before, the school took the club seriously by bringing in Paul Patten to take over as coach from team captain Jack Klemens.

The defensive stalwart was attending the training camp of the United States men's national ice hockey team in the hope of appearing at the upcoming Winter Olympics.

After returning from the winter break, with Klemens back in a Saints uniform, the Larries opened against Westchester of the Amateur Hockey League and posted a solid victory.
