Union took longer than most teams to return to the ice after World War II and reappeared just in time for the introduction of the NCAA tournament.

There were some bright spots, particularly in the defensive play of Phil Brady, but that wasn't enough to help the team compete in many games.

The situation with the rink got so bad at one point that the third period of the match with Champlain had to be divided into two 10-minute sessions so that both team had the ability to push the puck down a hill.

While A.D. J. H. Wittner assured the team that the field upon which the rink was erected had been levelled off the previous spring, there was a definite tilt to the surface.

Despite losing to Champlain once more, the defense was stout all night long while the offense consistently attacked the opposing cage.
