The Mules represented Colby College and were coached by Eddie Roundy in his 1st season. Season As Colby began its fourth season the program was in a state of limbo. While the team was being led by its fourth different head coach, rather than a professor the program was not headed by a full-time professional. Eddie Roundy was a Waterville native and also head of the football team. However, the school had just recently added basketball as a varsity sport and there was some worry that Colby would be unable to support both programs. Despite the worry, the team put together a slate of 12 games and began practice as soon as the rink was ready. The season had an inauspicious start when the first game with the Augusta Hockey Club was postponed because the opponent had yet to have a single practice due to poor weather conditions.https://digitalcommons.colby.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=2014&context=colbyecho Varsity Hockey Schedule The Colby Echo January 14, 1925 December 19, 2024 The persistent warm weather forced Colby to move their game with the St. Jean's Hockey Club to the South End Arena. Fagerstrom performed well in goal but the Mules were outclassed by the visitors. Jack McGowan scored the only Colby goal in the loss. A few days later, the campus rink was in good enough shape for the match with Bates, however, the team was not. Missing Bill Millett, the shorthanded Mules were unable to get any sort of offense going against the Garnet and surrendered the first game of the in-state series to the visitors.https://digitalcommons.colby.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=2015&context=colbyecho Hockey Team Loses to Bates The Colby Echo January 21, 1925 December 19, 2024 The final game in January came at home against a brand new program when New Hampshire arrived in town. Despite their greater experience, the Mules were trampled by the Bulls, and handed their second consecutive shutout.https://scholars.unh.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1651&context=tnh_archive Colby Shut Out The New Hampshire January 29, 1925 December 19, 2024 The team received some good new when Millett returned to the lineup for the match with Bowdoin. Unfortunately, the team had its worst performance of the season. Fagerstrom had a particularly poor game, allowing several easy shots to slip into the goal, but even the 0–7 score did not indicate just how far apart the two teams were. The Polar Bears played without any semblance of teamwork and still dominated the Mules.https://digitalcommons.colby.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=2016&context=colbyecho Ice Team Loses to Bowdoin The Colby Echo February 4, 1925 December 19, 2024 Colby was hoping that they could return with a better effort after the exam break, however, the weather got even worse and rendered virtually all of the rinks in the area unusable. The team held out hope until the end of the month but they were eventually forced to bow to reality. The remainder of their schedule was abandoned after just 4 games.https://digitalcommons.colby.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=2019&context=colbyecho End of Hockey Season The Colby Echo February 25, 1925 December 19, 2024 Roy Bither served as team manager.
