The Engineers were coached by Bill Stewart in his 4th season. Season With many returning players from the previous season, MIT had a decent outlook on the year and got into action with an exhibition match in early December. The extra workout was designed to get the team into shape for its opening match with Boston University since the team had not been able to get onto the ice until late November. Despite being favored in the match, the Engineers' offense failed and weren't able to get a single goal against the Terriers. The defense performed well but couldn't stop the team from opening the year with a loss.https://thetech.com/issues/48/77/pdf Technology Loses Hockey Contest to B.U. Terriers 2-0 at Old Boston Arena The Tech December 10, 1928 November 30, 2023 The team had little time to address their problems as their annual tilt with Harvard was just four days away. Sure enough, Tech was overwhelmed by the Crimson. While Riley allowed 9 goals, Crosby was able to finally get one for the Engineers.https://thetech.com/issues/48/79/pdf Beavers Trounced by Crimson Six The Tech December 14, 1928 November 30, 2023 After the inauspicious start, coach Stewart had five days to get his team prepared for Norwich and changed up the forward unit. Team captain George White was moved to wing with Crosby assuming his old position at center. Cullinan was shifted up from defense to the other wing with Peene now serving as a reserve. Hazeltine took over the vacant position on the blueline next to Lucey. Those changes, combined with a weaker opponent, led MIT to its first win of the season in spectacular fashion. Crosby led the way with two goals and an assist and had the game so well in hand by the third period that Stewart was able to finish out the game with alternates, substituting nearly the entire team.https://thetech.com/issues/48/81/pdf Varsity Hockey Team Wins First Victory of Season By Defeating Norwich 5-0 The Tech December 19, 1928 November 30, 2023 The team headed into the winter break with their spirits high and hadn't lost any of that moxie upon their return. Their first road game of the year saw MIT score another 5 goals, leading to a win over New Hampshire. The team had only two alternated for the match but both got in on the scoring. Peene assisted on Hall's opening goal and the latter added a second on an individual play in the second. The team built a 5–0 lead after two periods and were content to play defense for the remainder of the match. UNH managed a late goal but that only prevented Riley from earning a second consecutive shutout.https://thetech.com/issues/48/84/pdf Engineer Sextet Defeats New Hampshire Wildcats 5-1 in Game at Durham The Tech January 7, 1929 November 30, 2023 Unfortunately, due to the heavy demand for ice time at the Boston Arena, the Engineers didn't have another game on their schedule until February. With nearly a month off, the team did what it could to stay in shape and continued their winning streak when they met Army for their second road game. Just as they had in the New Hampshire game, MIT used a strong second period to establish a solid lead before playing defense in the final 20 minutes. All 5 goals came from different players with Ford and Lucey joining in on the exploits of the starting forwards.https://thetech.com/issues/49/2/pdf TECHNOLOGY HOCKEY TEAM DEFEATS ARMY The Tech February 8, 1929 November 30, 2023 10 days later, the team's streak came to an abrupt end when they met Princeton. The Tigers were on a 12-game heater heading into the match and continued their stellar play by overpowering the Engineers. Even with a solid defensive performance Princeton still managed to get 7 goals past Riley and skated away with a relatively easy win.https://theprince.princeton.edu/princetonperiodicals/?a=d&d=Princetonian19290213-01.2.12&e=-------en-20--1--txt-txIN------- HOCKEY TEAM DOWNS M. I. T. 7-1 IN FINAL CLASH BEFORE YALE The Daily Princetonian February 12, 1929 November 30, 2023 MIT was able to shake off the loss during their trip north into Maine. The team first defeated Bowdoin 1–0 with the score being close only due to the inspired play of the Bears' netminder.https://thetech.com/issues/49/6/pdf Icemen Win from Bowdoin Sextet by Fast Playing The Tech February 18, 1929 November 30, 2023 The following evening, the team met Bates during the Bobcat's winter carnival and the two were neck-and-neck throughout the 2 hour match. Lucey and Crosby each gave MIT a lead but their hosts were able to tie the match soon afterwards. In the waning moments of the game, Hall scored the winning marker, stunning the home crowd.https://archive.org/details/Bates_Student_1928/page/n139/mode/2up Garnet Icemen Outclass Colby Team at Waterville Bates Student February 22, 1929 June 20, 2023 Due to their late return from the trip, the rematch with BU was delayed to the 21st but Tech's offense fared no better than the first game and the team lost 1–3. The final two game of the year came in early March on a southerly road trip. Using a bus rather than the typical train, the team was able to send their entire 16-man team which included Cullinan, who had been injured during the BU match.https://thetech.com/issues/49/11/pdf Varsity Puckmen Will Play Brown And Pennsylvania The Tech March 1, 1929 June 20, 2023 When the game began, however, the Brunos leapt out to an early lead, scoring three goals before the Engineers knew what hit them. The defense recovered after that initial salvo but the offense remained silent until the third. White and Crosby cut into the lead in the final frame but the Engineer rally ran out of time and MIT fell by a single goal. The following night, the team was in Philadelphia, facing a Penn squad that hadn't won any of its 11 games to that point. Despite the recent result, MIT got off to a slow start once more but the offense took less time to make an appearance. Hall and Deyermond scored to give the team a 2–1 lead in the second. Their advantage didn't last long as the Quakers tied the match in the middle frame before retaking the lead in the third. Nothing that MIT sent towards the cage got past the Penn goalie and his spectacular play ended MIT's season with a loss.https://dparchives.library.upenn.edu/?a=d&d=tdp19290304-01.1.3&e=-------en-20--1--txt-txIN------- VARSITY HOCKEY TEAM SHATTERS LOSING STREAK The Daily Pennsylvanian March 4, 1929 June 20, 2023 Laurence Horan served as team manager with.https://web.mit.edu/technique/www/scans/1929_Technique.pdf 1929 Technique Massachusetts Institute of Technology November 14, 2023 Roster yes Ralph H.
