Season

edit

For the first time in five seasons, Yale was not the intercollegiate champion. A majority of Yale's games were played at the St. Nicholas Rink as it was one of the few available locations where consistent ice could be secured.

The team did not have a coach, however, Reeve Schley served as team manager.
