Larrabee returned as coach, the first time the program had the same leader since the end of the war.Hockey Sextet to Play Orange Team https://nyshistoricnewspapers.org/?a=d&d=con19270107-01.1.1&e=-------en-20--1--txt-txIN---------- Concordiensis January 7, 1927 October 20, 2023 The player hit the ice as soon as the weather turned cold enough and got as much practice time in as they could before the match with Syracuse. While expectations were for a close game, Union surpassed those predictions with a resounding victory. The returning forward line of Clifford, Gilmour and Hyland played just as well as they had in '26 with the speedy Hyland recording a hat-trick. A big boost to the team was the return of Bruce Mulqueen to the blueline. After missing all of the previous season, Mulqueen was a bulwark on defense and helped new starter Cunningham post the first shutout of his college career.Union Pucksters Score Over Syracuse Sextet https://nyshistoricnewspapers.org/?a=d&d=con19270111-01.1.1&e=-------en-20--1--txt-txIN---------- Concordiensis January 11, 1927 October 20, 2023 Union faced a much toucher challenge in its second game when the team travelled to take on Williams. Despite being played in a snowstorm, the game was an exciting match that saw both teams have a chance to win all the way until the end. Clifford opened the scoring early and the two then played scoreless for nearly two periods. Beale raised Union's lead at the start of the third but the Ephs finally broke through the pair of goals in quick succession. Hyland gave his team the lead once more but that too was swiftly erased by Williams. The offense continued to press but was unable to secure another goal, leaving Williams' final tally at the end of the period as the game-winner.Rinksters Lose to Purple Team https://nyshistoricnewspapers.org/?a=d&d=con19270118-01.1.3&e=-------en-20--1--txt-txIN---------- Concordiensis January 18, 1927 October 20, 2023 The team had two home games scheduled before the exam break, however, warm weather forced the cancellation of both.Hockey Team has Two Hard Matches https://nyshistoricnewspapers.org/?a=d&d=con19270121-01.1.1&e=-------en-20--1--txt-txIN---------- Concordiensis January 21, 1927 October 20, 2023 The team was looking forward to a home game after the break but weather intervened once more. This time, however, the team was prepared for the situation and moved the game to their opponent's rink. With Gilmour injured and Mulqueen lost to graduation, the Garnet played one of their finest games to date against Amherst for the second win of the season.

Union went down to defeat in the game but, after losses of 2–13 and 1–8 over the previous two seasons, the scores were at least getting closer.Hockey Team Defeated by Blue and Buff https://nyshistoricnewspapers.org/?a=d&d=con19270223-01.1.3&e=-------en-20--1--txt-txIN---------- Concordiensis February 23, 1927 October 20, 2023 Following the loss the fifth and final home game was also cancelled. Union was able to play the last game on their schedule when they headed down to Brooklyn to face NYU. The Violets were a very large team, averaging over 180 lbs. per player but that size came at a cost. Union was able to skate rings around the home team and the return of John Gilmour saw the Garnet win their final match of a very trying year.Rinksters Close Season With Win Over Violet Men https://nyshistoricnewspapers.org/?a=d&d=con19270301-01.1.1&e=-------en-20--1--txt-txIN---------- Concordiensis March 1, 1927 October 20, 2023 This was the last winning season for the Dutchmen for 13 years.
