Season Before the start of the season, the team took a hit because John Cogan was academically ineligible. Fortunately, the team returned many players from last year's squad and had some experience to rely upon in his absence. The team opened the season with a win against an amateur club with Zeke Secor having a hand in all three goals.https://archive.org/details/Bates_Student_1928/mode/2up Garnet Pucksters Begin Season with Victory Bates Student January 13, 1928 June 19, 2023 The team then embarked on its annual trip south and came up with a pair of 2–0 wins.https://archive.org/details/Bates_Student_1928/page/n3/mode/2up Team Back After Victorious Trip Bates Student January 20, 1928 June 19, 2023 Bob Violette was the star of the team to that point, not having allowed a single goal through the first three games to set a new program record. Bates finally surrendered its first goal of the season to Bowdoin but the offensive unit of Foster, White and Secor came through once more to lead the team to victory. By the time the team met Colby, they were playing their fourth game in eight days and were unable to sustain their winning streak. Despite the best efforts of the Mules, however, the Bobcats wouldn't go away. Secor's goal in the third sent the game into overtime and it took 4 extra periods before Colby could net the winner. The loss heralded a down period of the season for Bates as the Garnet lost the next two games as well. The team wasn't quite able to stand up to the attack from New Hampshire and allowed 5 goals to the Wildcats but the worst came when they lost the rematch to Colby in another overtime thriller.https://archive.org/details/Bates_Student_1928/page/n7/mode/2up Colby Victory in Overtime Game Bates Student January 27, 1928 June 19, 2023 The second loss to the Mules meant that Bates would not be able to win a state championship. Just before the break, Bates welcomed the Aggies for a return match and were able to end their 3-game losing skid. Cogan was successful during the exam break and rejoined the team after becoming eligible once more. He hit the ice just in time for the team's game against Yale, the best team in the nation. Foster dropped back to defense, giving Cogan the spot at center. This allowed Cogan to score his first goal of the season however, while Secor secured 2 more, the Bobcats were hopelessly outgunned by the Bulldogs and fell 3–12.https://archive.org/details/Bates_Student_1928/page/n13/mode/2up Fast Yale Team Defeats Garnet Bates Student February 17, 1928 June 19, 2023 The team returned home and found a group of Canadians waiting for them in the form of Acadia. The unfamiliar foes were mostly even as they battled through a fast game. Johnny Cogan bookended the scoring that finished up 2-all after regulation. Two overtime periods went by without another marker and the game was called a draw. A week later, weather hampered the rematch with Bowdoin. An early thaw caused the ice to become soft and slow which made skating rather difficult. Only one goal was scored in the game and it came from the stick of a Polar Bear. The loss placed Bates at the bottom of the state rankings and gave the Garnet a terrible result despite an otherwise strong season. Bates ended is season on a high note, however, as the team travelled down to Providence and came away with a 4–2 win. Cogan was the individual star of the game and helped the team post a winning record for the second straight year.https://archive.org/details/Bates_Student_1928/page/n19/mode/2up Garnet Defeats Brown Bears 4-2 Bates Student March 2, 1928 June 19, 2023 Leon Grant served as team manager.
