Season After an informal team the year before, the athletic department gave its blessing on the official status of the ice hockey team for this season. However, while the team was able to wear the school colors, they received precious little in terms of support from the college. The players lacked equipment, a home venue, a full time coach and funding of any kind.https://digitalcommons.colby.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1094&context=oracle Colby Oracle 1922 Colby College July 10, 2023 Worse, the team was also handicapped by the paucity of candidates for the team with most having never played the game before. Just 12 students attended the first workout for the club and, though prospects weren't great, the team was still able to enter itself into the competition for the Maine Intercollegiate Hockey Championship with Bates and Bowdoin. Freshman Richard Watson assumed the coaching responsibilities while Grenville Vale was elected team captain. Owing to their late start, the team played just one game in January. While they took their opening match, the haphazard play caused the team to redouble its training efforts for when they resumed after the exam break. They looked much more composed in their contest versus Maine, who were playing on an informal basis, and then extended their winning streak to 3 with a downing of the Polar Bears. Three difficult games at the end of the month not only put the state championship out of reach, but gave the distinct possibility that the Mules would finish with a losing record. The final match was played at home against Bowdoin, however, because of poor ice the game was ragged and slow. The two ended the match tied at 1-all and Colby was able to end its first season successfully with a mediocre record. C. Harry Edwards served as team manager. Roster yes John L.
