The 1929–30 Colgate men's ice hockey season was the 7th season of play for the program. The team was coached by Raymond A. Watkins in his 2nd season.
Season
Eager to build on its first winning season in over a decade, Colgate began the year with renewed hope for the program. Unfortunately, the weather was abysmal for the team's ice rink. The Maroons weren't able to get a single on-ice practice in ahead of the first game and even had to have the foundation of the temporary rink rebuilt just days before the first match.https://digitalcollections.colgate.edu/islandora/object/studentpapers%3A6176 HOCKEY RINK FLOODED The Colgate Maroon January 21, 1930 August 11, 2023 The team wasn't able to play until the end of January when they hit the road and took on Penn. Team captain Frank Howe was sick prior to the trip but was well enough to open the scoring against the Quakers. The two then exchanged goals and ended up tied heading to the end of regulation. Just before the final buzzer sounded, Colgate netted its third goal of the evening to win their opening match in a rather improbable manner. The following evening saw a close copy of the opening match when Anderson opened the scoring against Army. This time there were no late-game heroics and the two finished regulation tied at 2-all. Despite firing a barrage of shots at the Cadet cage through 2 overtime periods, Colgate could not break the tie and had to return home without a second win.https://digitalcollections.colgate.edu/islandora/object/studentpapers%3A6166 Hockey Team Opens With Win and Tie The Colgate Maroon January 28, 1930 August 11, 2023
By the end of the following week, the team's rink was in good enough shape for the Maroons to play their first home game. Unfortunately the team had a poor start against Middlebury and found themselves down 0–3 after the first period. The Maroons redoubled their efforts once the second period began and played the Panthers even for the remainder of the game but they could not overcome the early deficit.https://digitalcollections.colgate.edu/islandora/object/studentpapers%3A6046 Middlebury Hands Maroon First Hockey Defeat, 5-2 The Colgate Maroon February 4, 1930 August 11, 2023 A week later the team travelled to face Cornell and the Big Red took revenge for the loss a year before. Colgate was walloped 1–7 and showed a distinct lack of teamwork and preparation in the game.https://cdsun.library.cornell.edu/?a=d&d=CDS19300208.2.2&e=-------en-20--1--txt-txIN------- Varsity Defeats Colgate Sextet in Fast Game The Cornell Daily Sun February 8, 1930 August 11, 2023
A week afterwards, the team was back on the ice but were without their captain. Playing host to St. Stephen's, the Maroons didn't look particularly invested in the game and put up a lackluster performance. It wasn't until the end of the third, when they found themselves down by a goal, that the players showed any fight. Hofheins caged a shot to send the game into overtime but a snowstorm curtailed their attack afterwards. The reprieve allowed St. Stephen's to score the winning goal in overtime, handing Colgate its third consecutive loss.https://digitalcollections.colgate.edu/islandora/object/studentpapers%3A6076 Hockey Men Lose to St. Stephens's in Party Tilt The Colgate Maroon February 18, 1930 August 11, 2023 For their final game the team travelled to face Hamilton and could not escape the weather even in an enclosed building. The ice was rough and slow, forcing the teams to play four 12-minute periods so that the surface could be cleaned more often. Neither team could get any offense going in the match and the only goal came with about 5 minutes to play. Unfortunately, the goal came from a Continental player and Colgate ended a forgettable year with another loss.https://digitalcollections.colgate.edu/islandora/object/studentpapers%3A6389 Hamilton Beats Colgate in Hard-Fought Match The Colgate Maroon March 4, 1930 August 11, 2023
