Season

After two very successful seasons it appeared that Dartmouth was going to have a down year when it dropped its first two games of the season. The loss to defending Canadian champion Ottawa wasn't unexpected but losing to Mass Ag was a sign that the Greens weren't up to the same level as the leaders of college hockey. The team, however, wasn't willing to just pack it in and in their game against Princeton the team rebounded with a 4–1 win.[1] While the win could partially be explained by Princeton being a shell of its former self, the same could not be said for Harvard, who fell to the Greens 4–2 the very next week.[2]

After a further win over MIT, Dartmouth was just one victory away from claiming the Intercollegiate Championship. With only Yale remaining, the Greens headed to New Haven with high hopes, but the Elis had other plans. Yale scored the first goal before three minutes had elapsed but couldn't build on their lead. Dartmouth eventually evened the score and the first half ended at 1–all. Both teams played a fast game in the second half and despite several good shots from Dartmouth, Holcomb York refused to let anything else into the Bulldog net. With the game tied after 40 minutes, the teams agreed to play two 5-minute overtime sessions. Yale scored a seeing-eye shot in the first extra period and caused Dartmouth to force the attack. The pressure from the Greens forced Yale into a penalty in the second overtime and when it looked like Dartmouth had their chance to get back into the game, Yale scored twice on the penalty kill to end any chance for Dartmouth.[3]

Dartmouth lost their final game almost three weeks later, but it was the loss to Yale that was dire. Losing to the Elis meant that Dartmouth's Intercollegiate record was 3–2, which put them far behind Harvard for the Championship, despite their win over the Crimson. After the season the team suffered another loss when Fred Rocque resigned to take over the Boston Arenas full-time.

Note: Dartmouth College did not possess a moniker for its athletic teams until the 1920s, however, the university had adopted 'Dartmouth Green' as its school color in 1866.[4]
