Season After Years of icing the best team in the state, Bates entered the season having to remake its lineup. Gone were offensive wizard Joe Cogan and two-way defenseman Dick Stanley, both lost to graduation. In order to fill in those sizable holes, coach Wiggin needed new blood and plenty of practice to get the newly named Bobcats up to snuff. Unfortunately, a new university rule barred freshmen from playing varsity sports during their first semester.https://archive.org/details/mirror192500unse/page/196/mode/2up Mirror, 1925 Bates College June 14, 2023 This left the team unable to use some of the new students until after the exams in early February. The shorthanded team began their season in early February with a familiar opponent in Bowdoin. Both clubs appeared sluggish in the match and didn't generate many scoring opportunities, however, the Polar Bears were able to defeat Bates for the first time in almost 5 years. The second game saw the Bobcats play much better, however, their opponent was a far tougher match and the team fell to St. Dominique's.https://archive.org/details/Bates_Student_1925/page/n5/mode/2up Garnet Puck Pushers Display Great Spirit in St. Dom.

Snow built up across the ice to such an extent that the puck could hardly be moved. It was a minor miracle that any goals were scored and unfortunate that the majority were caged by the visitors. Bates then embarked on its annual swing south and did not get the results they were looking for. The Bobcats were trounced by Williams in the first match, will Wyllie surrendering 7 goals to Watkins. Though they were more evenly matched the following night, Bates was still routed by Army, this time only giving up 5 markers. A few nights later, the team looked to have finally pulled itself together and battled the Mass Aggies to an even mark at the end of regulation. Two 10-minute overtime periods failed to elicit any more scoring so a third was employed. This allowed the home team to put up two more markers and hand Bates its sixth defeat of the season. The final game before returning home came against Amherst and the team looked in good shape through two periods, however, playing so many game in such a short time eventually caught up to the Bobcats and they allowed 4 goals in the third to finish their trip by losing every match.https://archive.org/details/Bates_Student_1925/page/n13/mode/2up Bates Puckmen Sustain Losses Bates Student January 30, 1926 June 14, 2023 After returning home, the team was getting ready for the intrastate games to begin, unfortunately, an early thaw saw all of the ice rinks in Maine become unsuitable for play. The remainder of the season was cancelled for all colleges and left Bates with its worst record in program history. Donald Hall served as team manager. Roster yes Ralph L.
