Season
Columbia opened their season with the first game ever played at Yale's new home building.[1] The game was, unfortunately, a disaster for the Lions who were wholly unable to stop the Bulldog attack in a 10–2 loss. The next two contests, against Colgate and Princeton were both cancelled due to warm weather causing a lack of available ice, not an uncommon problem at the time.[2] The extra practice served Columbia well as their next official game ended as a 4–3 overtime win over Princeton.[3]
After a close loss to Penn, the team took two weeks off to study for mid-term exams before returning in early February against Hamilton. After dropping the match Columbia headed to Hanover to play Dartmouth at their winter carnival but a snowstorm caused the game to be called part-way through the second period.[4] Columbia finished their season with two convincing home wins (a further game against Army was cancelled) leaving the team with its first non-losing season in a decade.[5] Unfortunately, the team struggled to sell tickets for those games, an ill omen for the future of the program.
Douglas MacKay served as manager of the team until taking a job with the Winnipeg Tribune.[6] After his departure W. A. Southall took over duties on a temporary basis.
