The Terriers were coached by John O'Hare in his first season. Season After two abortive attempts to start the program, Boston University was finally able to secure an arrangement to use the Boston Arena as its home venue. Not only did this give the program a home rink for the first time but it also allowed the Terriers to schedule more than a handful of games. The school brought in John O'Hare to head the program but, with no experienced players on the roster, the team had limited chances for wins.Boston University men's Hockey 2017-18 Record Book https://s3.amazonaws.com/sidearm.sites/goterriers.com/documents/2017/4/19/1718_mih_recordbook_full.pdf Boston University Terriers 2018-08-28 2019-03-27 https://web.archive.org/web/20190327154921/https://s3.amazonaws.com/sidearm.sites/goterriers.com/documents/2017/4/19/1718_mih_recordbook_full.pdf dead BU opened the season with a pair of games in December against local colleges. The opening match, against MIT served as a poor omen for the Terriers as BU managed to score 4 goals, more than they had in their earlier two seasons combined, but allowed 7 in the loss. Though it was an unfortunate result, it was far better than the team had fared in either of their matches in 1920. Less than a week later, the team was set against three-time defending intercollegiate champions, Harvard. The Crimson scored twice in the first period, however, the BU defense tightened afterwards and didn't allow the mighty Harvard squad another goal. The surprising performance was not enough to give the Terriers a chance to win, however, as the Crimson defense was its typically impenetrable self.CRIMSON SEXTET DEFEATS BOSTON UNIVERSITY, 2-0 https://www.thecrimson.com/article/1922/12/14/crimson-sextet-defeats-boston-university-2-0/ The Harvard Crimson December 14, 1922 August 27, 2023 It was nearly a month before the team's next game and the Terriers did what they could to work on the issues that had been revealed in the first two games. The time off appeared to work wonders for the team as they dominated a Massachusetts Agricultural team upon their return. Kontoff and Sterling were stellar on defense, breaking up many an attack from the Aggies. Almer scored the first hat-trick in program history to lead the team to its first ever win.First Hockey Contest of Season Goes to B.U. 6-1. https://archive.org/details/massachuse19221923mass/page/n45/mode/2up The Massachusetts Collegian January 17, 1923 August 27, 2023 The following Week the team got its chance for revenge against MIT. While the defense remained in fine form, The offense could only summon up a single goal. With the score even at the end of regulation, two 5-minute overtime periods were agreed to but, unfortunately, it was MIT who got the final marker. A week or so after the near miss, BU met Boston College at the Arena. The Eagles were in the middle of a championship run and were expected to roll over the Terriers, however, BU had other ideas. Beauchemin played probably his best game of the season, repeatedly preventing BC from scoring what looked to be a sure goal and kept his team in the contest. Provost opened the scoring in the second, and the defense then tried to hold on to its 1-goal lead until the end of the match. The Eagles did eventually even the score but overtime was needed to settle the score. In the first of two 5-minute overtime periods, Almer gave BU its second lead of the game but the withering attack from Boston College tied the game for a second time. After the first two extra sessions, a third sudden death period was instituted. BU kept to its game, holding off the Eagles for about 15 minutes, but the both teams were looking increasingly exhausted as time went on. Eventually a tired Kontoff lost the puck to Len Morrissey who skated up the ice and wired a shot past Beauchemin for the winning goal.https://newspapers.bc.edu/cgi-bin/imageserver.pl?oid=bcheights19230201&getpdf=true B.

TO "SUDDEN DEATH" SCORE TWICE TIED The Heights February 1, 1923 August 15, 2023 About two weeks later the two had a rematch and BC was not going to give the Terriers a second chance at an upset. The Eagles pumped 7 goals into the BU cage and put to rest any pretensions from the scarlet skaters. A day after their second loss to Boston College, BU was in New Haven for its first road game and took on a local semi-pro outfit. Despite being vastly over-matched in terms of age, experience and size, the Terriers played well and only surrendered 4 goals to the New Haven Bears. After that, the team returned home and trained for over two weeks before hitting the road for their final game of the season. BU met Bates at the Winter Carnival in Auburn and showed out with a 6–0 win.https://archive.org/details/Bates_Student_1923/page/n23/mode/2up B.
