The Lord Jeffs were coached by Leon Plumer in his first season. Season thumb|right|upright=.6|Cornell vs. Amherst, Jan 14 With a new moniker for the college's team (unofficial as it may be), Amherst wasted no time in preparing for the season. Seeking to banish the memory of a winless season, the team used an uncommon tactic of employing an undergrad as the team's coach. To make things interesting, Leon Plumer was not a member of the team, though he had been two years earlier. Plumer ran the Jeffs through drills whenever possible on the temporary rink but there was little chance to prepare for the inaugural match right after they returned from the winter break. Among other things, Amherst officially adopted the new 6-on-6 format and abandoned the rover position. In the first match, Dartmouth was once again one of the best teams in the country and the purple did well just by keeping the score close. A week later the team took a jaunt through upstate New York and came away with two more defeats. The match with Hamilton showed some improvement with the team, however, the second game was a bit of a clunker and the Jeff lost 0–4. At the time the weather was being kind and allowed the ice on Pratt Field to solidify into a fast sheet. The team got as much practice in as they could ahead of the next game and everything seemed to come together when they hosted YMCA College. Worcester was moved to center for the game which helped spur the best game for Amherst since the war. The Purple trounced the Maroons 5–0 and ended their 10-game losing streak in the process. A week later the team was widely outplayed by Massachusetts Agricultural, however, Plimpton was the star of the game and stopped 50 shots in 42 minutes of action. Unfortunately, their goaltender's heroics went for naught as the Jeffmen were beaten, 0–1.https://archive.org/details/massachuse19211922mass/page/n47/mode/2up Varsity Wins 1-0 from Jefferymen The Massachusetts Collegian January 25, 1922 May 6, 2024 Amherst's home stand concluded with a pair of wins over Bates and YMCA and set up a two-game series with Williams. The Ephs welcomed Amherst with one of the longest games in program history, playing three 20-minute periods rather than the then-customary 15-minute frames. The extra time didn't help the Lord Jeffs as Amherst was unable to score in the game, though Plimpton did post another remarkable effort in the loss.https://archive.org/details/thewilliamsrecord_vol35/page/n259/mode/2up Williams Sextet Defeats Amherst The Williams Record February 11, 1922 May 6, 2024 The rematch saw the Purple offense show its teeth and two goals from captain Worcester led Amherst to the win.https://archive.org/details/thewilliamsrecord_vol35/page/n267/mode/2up Amherst and Yale Win Hockey Games The Williams Record February 18, 1922 May 6, 2024 The final game of the season was a rematch with the Mass. Aggies and was quite similar to the first. Plimpton played less than in the first match with the Mass Aggies, but still performed excellently. Amherst's offense was unable to get a single puck into the MAC cage. The final score was 0-1, resulting in the Purples losing 0–1.https://archive.org/details/massachuse19211922mass/page/n63/mode/2up Amherst Defeated in Fast 1-0 Game The Massachusetts Collegian February 22, 1922 May 6, 2024 Despite the loss, this was the best season performance for the team in over a decade. During the season, Russell F. Neale served as team manager with William F. Whitla as his assistant.https://acdc.amherst.edu/view/Olios/Olio-1922#page/170/mode/2up/search/hockey 1923 Olio Amherst College May 7, 2024 Roster yes Crosby Allison fr D USA Brooklyn, New York yes Allen Davidson sr C/RW 1901 8 4 USA Auburndale, Massachusetts yes Frank H.
