McMaster Marauders men's ice hockey

After returning following the end of World War I, McMaster found itself mired at the bottom of the standings and decided to change tack.

McMaster jointly played both Intermediate and Senior hockey for a few years but then began to switch between the two in the early 30s.

After the second world war, McMaster returned to the Intermediate level but found that the state of Canadian college hockey had changed.

The following season, the CIAU announced the inaugural University Cup and would invite the league champion of the four major conferences across the country.

Because the OIAA was not to be included, McMaster played solely out of the QOAA and repeated as regular season champions.

McMaster won a pair of 1-goal games to claim the title as the first national champion in Canadian college history.
