Season For the second year in a row, bad weather played havoc with the program. The Jeffmen were unable to get any real practice time entering the season and were forced to cancel their first two games due to a lack of ice. To make matters worse, the team did not have a head coach who could guide the team through the troubled waters and had to rely on team captain Samuel Cameron to hold the group together. By mid-January, the situation was so bleak that the student body took the extraordinary measure of cancelling the entire season. The school's administration responded swiftly and tried to overrule the decision. The two sides came to agreement where the students reversed their motion after both Allison Marsh and Emory Grayson, the head coaches of the soccer and baseball teams respectively, agreed to assist the team for the remainder of the season.https://acdc.amherst.edu/view/Olios/Olio-1926#page/233/mode/1up/search/marsh 1927 Olio Amherst College November 16, 2024 Shortly after the compromise was reached, the weather improved. The team hit the ice as soon as it was ready and got in some training before their match with Massachusetts Agricultural. The game was marred by a distinct lack of teamwork by both sides but the defense help up well, keeping the game as a draw through two overtimes.https://archive.org/details/massachuse19251926mass/page/n27/mode/2up?q=hockey Hockey Team Ties Amherst The Massachusetts Collegian February 2, 1926 July 27, 2023 Amherst played well in their next game, carrying a lead late into the second period. Unfortunately, the lack of practice caught up with the squad and Army used a superior brand of hockey to score three unanswered in the latter portion of the game. The next match for the Lord Jeffs was supposed to be at Williams, however, a snowstorm forced the game to be postponed to the end of February. Instead, the team welcomed Middlebury and got off to a fast start. The Jeffmen scored three goals at the start of the game to take a sizable lead but weren't able to build on that for the rest of the match. The defense was stout for most of the contest but, similar to the game against Army, they faltered towards the end of the game. In the waning minutes, Middlebury scored twice to cut the lead to one but time ran out before they could complete the comeback.https://archive.org/details/middleburyNewspapers_1926-02-10/mode/2up?q=hockey Pucksters Defeat Aggies, Lose to Amherst Skaters The Middlebury Campus February 10, 1926 November 16, 2024 Amherst took its second trip through New York in the middle of the month, stopping first to take on Union.

After returning home, the team was met by warm weather once more and were forced to cancel the rematch with Massachusetts Agricultural. They got enough of a reprieve the following week to play Williams twice over the span of five days. At home for the first match, Amherst got the opening goal from Malcolm Cameron. After that, the team was forced to play defense for the remainder of the game. The battle-hardened Ephs were constantly on the attack and only through poor passing and stickhandling did the score remain close.https://archive.org/details/thewilliamsrecord_vol39/page/n335/mode/2up?q=hockey Sabrinas Defeated by Varsity Sextet The Williams Record February 23, 1926 June 29, 2023 Williams' victory set up a rematch for the Little Three rivals though Amherst may as well have not shown up.
