A committee from the club had been visiting Montreal to obtain attractions for the carnival as well as gain tips on how to manage the event.

A local team was quickly assembled from the employees of the Van Ness House, a hotel in Burlington.

[33] Originally scheduled for February 15–19,[34] the organizers were forced to move the events one week later due to unseasonable weather.

The players representing Van Ness House did not have any hockey experience, having only gone through a few practices prior to the carnival.

The final game was played in two 10-minute periods, with Joseph McGoldrick of the Crystals scoring the only goal to capture the silver medal.

[35][36] Van Ness House: Lewis C. Johnson, Charles H. Whitcomb, Maxwell A. Kilvert, William F. Waters, Edward.
