While the building gave the team a stable home, it did prevent many students from attending the games during the year due to its distance from campus. The first match was held against a local semi-pro outfit and saw the team post its first win with Herbert scoring the first two goals in program history. Vermont then played Middlebury and Herbert against staked the team to a 2-goal lead. Unfortunately, the Panthers then staged a dramatic comeback and scored three unanswered to hand the Green and Gold their first defeat. The next game came against Union and turned out to be an exciting contest. The Dutchmen got an early lead but Vermont charged back in the second period. Herbert recorded his third consecutive 2-goal game and was joined by Wood in the third to tie the match at 3-all. Early in the first overtime, Wood notched his second marker to give the Greens a lead but Union quickly responded to tie the game once more. The second overtime saw Union gain the edge but Vermont was unable to respond.https://nyshistoricnewspapers.org/lccn/sn96027707/1926-02-23/ed-1/seq-1/ Hockey Team Wins and Loses on Trip The Concordiensis February 23, 1926 August 1, 2023 The return game with Middlebury did not go as planned and the team was shutout for the first time. The defensive effort from Denning and Winchenbach was solid but the constant attack from the Panthers eventually worse down Vermont. The Greens then took out their frustrations on Saint Michael's and buried the purple team 12–0. Herbert set a program record with 8 goals in the game with Wood and Fitch each adding a pair.
