Season For the first time since before the war, Rensselaer was left without a hockey coach. After the departure of Leroy Clark, the squad was ostensibly run by team captain John Reuther. He, along with the team manager, put together a normal slate of games for the Engineers and the team set about practicing once the weather became cold enough. Unfortunately, while the team was able to get some practice in, their match with YMCA College had to be postponed. That meant Middlebury would be the first opponent of the season and that couldn't have turned out better for RPI. The Engineers won the match 2–0 and then prepared themselves for YMCA the following week. The game was held in a snowstorm but the ice was good enough to see Rensselaer earn its second victory of the year.Varsity Hockey Men Drop Game at Troy https://springfieldcollege.contentdm.oclc.org/digital/collection/p16122coll6/id/3857/rec/4 The Springfield Student February 1, 1924 December 13, 2023 With the program on the cusp of its first winning season in 17 years, RPI had a 2-week break before they hit the road and met Hamilton. Unfortunately, in the interim, Reuther was forced to leave the team. Dureau was appointed acting captain but was unable to prevent RPI from being routed in the match. While the team may have been able to mollify itself with the fact that the Continentals were one of the best programs in the country, their subsequent opponents could not say the same. A week later, still without their captain, the team faced Cornell and were completely swept off of the ice. The Big Red scored 13 goals and, while Bolieau scored once for RPI, it didn't make the final score any less embarrassing.R.P.I.
