Season Amherst had high hoped for its first full season since 1914 and got to work right after the football season was finished. Pratt Field was once again the team's home and once the rink had finished freezing, the prospective players were put through their paces. However, after returning from the exam break, several players (including Leon Plumer) were ruled academically ineligible and would not be able to play for the rest of the season.https://acdc.amherst.edu/view/Olios/Olio-1921#page/162/mode/2up/search/plumer 1922 Olio Amherst College May 3, 2024 The handicapped purple opened their season against one of the nation's top teams in Dartmouth. Though they lost, Amherst showed a solid level of compete by keeping the score close. A few days later, the team got its first home game of the season and met cross-town rivals Massachusetts Agricultural. Goaltender Francis Plimpton was the star for Amherst but he was unable to help the team with its biggest problem: scoring. The purple were only able to get six shots on goal for the entire game and, although Davidson was able to get one marker, it wasn't enough and the team lost 1–2.https://archive.org/details/massachuse19201921mass/page/n39/mode/2up Varsity Septet Wins and Loses Close Games The Massachusetts Collegian January 19, 1921 May 6, 2024 The next game had virtually the same outcome with Davidson getting the only goal for Amherst in a 1–2 loss and it was becoming quite apparent that the missing talent was holding the team back.https://archive.org/details/thewilliamsrecord_vol34/page/n321/mode/2up Amherst is Defeated in Fast Hockey Game The Williams Record January 21, 1921 May 6, 2024 A week later, Amherst was off to play YMCA College and the team got off to a fast start. The purple got an early lead but were unable to build on the advantage. YMCA tied the game in the second half but Plimpton prevented any further scoring and the two went into overtime. The Maroons struck quick and took the lead, then held Amherst off for the remainder of the match.https://springfieldcollege.contentdm.oclc.org/digital/collection/p16122coll6/id/3041/rec/3 Hockey Wins Again The Springfield Student January 28, 1921 May 6, 2024 Two more losses in quick succession left the team with just one final opportunity to get a win. Unfortunately, the offense wasn't able to get anything going in the rematch with Williams and Amherst ended the year with a perfect losing season.https://archive.org/details/thewilliamsrecord_vol34/page/n331/mode/2up Amherst Defeated Again at Hockey The Williams Record February 7, 1921 May 6, 2024 Bradford L.
