The team was coached by Jack Roos in his 3rd season. Season From the start, the team knew that this season would be a bit more trying than the past near-championship years. Clarkson lost three of its defensive stalwarts to graduation and would have to find a replacement for All-American goaltender Wally Easton. Coach Roos took charge of the team just before classes let out for the winter break and proceeded to lead the team through practices in Canada.https://nyheritage.contentdm.oclc.org/digital/collection/clarkson/id/1179/rec/8 1932 Clarksonian Clarkson University December 1, 2021 The first two games for the team were against amateur clubs before Christmas and the team earned a split on the road. The players were then allowed to go home for the last week of December and reconvened in Potsdam after the new year. The Golden Knights were greeted by the sight of their new rink; located on Clarkson avenue, the venue was less centrally located than their previous home, but the site was chosen to take advantage of the hills on the Clarkson campus. High winds had been plaguing the team at Ives Park and they were hoping the new location would fix or at least improve that issue.https://nyshistoricnewspapers.org/lccn/np00010001/1931-12-09/ed-1/seq-2/ Clarkson Integrator., December 09, 1931, Page 2, Image 2 NYS Historic Newspapers December 9, 1931 December 1, 2021 In spite of a raucous crowd, the team lost its first home game since 1926, ending a streak of 24 wins.https://s3.amazonaws.com/clarksonathletics.com/documents/2021/10/2/ClarksonRecordBook_2021_22COLOR.pdf Clarkson Record Book 2021 Clarkson Golden Knights November 13, 2021 Curiously, it was the offense that failed Tech as the team lost to Queen's on a goal scored in the last minutes of the match.https://nyshistoricnewspapers.org/lccn/np00010001/1932-01-13/ed-1/seq-1/ Clarkson Integrator., January 13, 1932, Page 1, Image 1 NYS Historic Newspapers January 13, 1932 December 1, 2021 The team rebounded with a 6–0 win over Victoria a few days later but the weather soon became a factor. A game on January 8 against Saint Mary's was cancelled when the rink's ice melted from a sudden thaw. While the rink was tended to, the team was forced to practice on the Raquette River in preparation for their trip south. The first game of the road trip was a meeting with Princeton for the fifth consecutive year. With fog making visibility poor throughout the game, Clarkson's offense played well but they couldn't match the Tigers' netminder. Sticky ice kept the game slow and Tech could only muster a single goal in the loss.https://nyshistoricnewspapers.org/lccn/np00010001/1932-01-20/ed-1/seq-1/ Clarkson Integrator., January 20, 1932, Page 1, Image 1 NYS Historic Newspapers January 20, 1932 December 1, 2021 The following evening, the team played an amateur team in Atlantic City in front of a crowd of 8,000 spectators. The ice conditions were much more favorable and the team skated better, but they fell by the same margin. In what was shaping up to be a bad year for the team, the Knights' next opponent was the defending intercollegiate champion, Yale. While not as strong as they had been, the Elis were still 8–3 and in position to repeat as champions.Yale Bulldogs https://s3.amazonaws.com/yalebulldogs.com/documents/2019/6/25/YearxYearthrough2018-19Yalehockey_docx_-2-.pdf YALE MEN'S HOCKEY RESULTS, 1895 -2019 December 31, 2019 The game started as expected, with the Bulldogs scoring twice to build an early advantage. The second, however, saw a dramatic change with Clarkson scoring four times with seemingly all of their skaters out playing the Elis. Clarkson produced what was considered the biggest win in the history of the program, being the first college team to take down the Bulldogs in almost three years.https://nyshistoricnewspapers.org/lccn/np00010001/1932-02-03/ed-1/seq-1/ Clarkson Integrator., February 03, 1932, Page 1, Image 1 NYS Historic Newspapers February 3, 1932 December 1, 2021 The victory seemed to solve most of team's problems, but it couldn't settle the trouble with the weather. A lack of ice forced the cancelation of games against the Polish national team, Marquette and Ottawa.https://nyshistoricnewspapers.org/lccn/np00010001/1932-02-24/ed-1/seq-1/ Clarkson Integrator., February 24, 1932, Page 1, Image 1 NYS Historic Newspapers February 24, 1932 December 1, 2021 The team was only able to play one further game at home but they showed out, dominating Loyola 9–2. Tech continued winning as they finished the year on the road. The offense, led by 'Peck' Donald and Clarence 'Ike' Houston, made a strong showing in each game, allowing the Knights to end the year on a high note. Donald Orton served as team manager for the season. Roster yes Louis Boyle jr D yes C. Gordon Donald sr F CAN Carleton Place, Ontario yes G.
