The 1920–21 Colgate men's ice hockey season was the 3rd season of play for the program. The team was coached by James Ballantine in his 1st season.
Season
In early December, the athletic department announced that ice hockey would once more be supported as a varsity program. Colonel James Ballatine, who introduced lacrosse to Colgate the previous summer, agreed to be the first head coach in the history of the program.https://digitalcollections.colgate.edu/islandora/object/studentpapers%3A3795 MINOR SPORTS ONCE MORE GAIN PLACE ON COLGATE SCHEDULES The Colgate Maroon December 1, 1920 July 12, 2023 A schedule of 5 games was hastily arranged with Hamilton and Rensselaer each appearing twice. Due to the late nature of the announcement, the schedule was rearranged several times before any games were played.https://digitalcollections.colgate.edu/islandora/object/studentpapers%3A3795 Hockey Candidates To Report After Xmas The Colgate Maroon December 16, 1920 July 12, 2023
The team used Taylor Lake for its home ice and practices, however, due to a warm winter they weren't able to get much training in before their first game. While RPI was scheduled to be their first opponent for the squad, they managed to shoehorn in a game with the Albany Country Club to try and get a bit of experience ahead of their intercollegiate schedule. The match was played on rough ice that slowed both teams down but did allow Colgate to put forth a solid defensive effort. The only goal was scored by Sanford after intercepting a pass and the Reds were able to get their first win in about 4 years.https://digitalcollections.colgate.edu/islandora/object/studentpapers%3A4062 Hockey Team Victorious In Premier Ice Contests The Colgate Maroon January 26, 1921 July 12, 2023 The extra workout seemed to be just what the team needed as they were able to roll over Rensselaer the following day. This time on good ice, the team was able to show its speed and outplayed the Engineers in both halves. The game is also noteworthy for being the first 6-on-6 game in program history.
The team sat on the sidelines until after the exam break and returned with an exhibition match with Hamilton. The Continentals were one of the best teams in college hockey that year and showed as much by shutting down the Colgate offense. The Reds, however, performed better than expected by limiting the visitors to a single goal and showed that they weren't to be taken lightly.https://digitalcollections.colgate.edu/islandora/object/studentpapers%3A3503 Colgate Hockey Team Defeated by Hamilton in Exhibition Contest The Colgate Maroon February 8, 1921 July 12, 2023 An official game between the two took place a few days later but ended up with the same score. Shortly afterwards the academic results were announced. The team was stung by the loss of Sanford, Hurley and Pearsall who were now lost until they could regain their eligibility. The now-handicapped team travelled to face Cornell and play on a surface nearly double the size of the one they had at home. The completely remade offensive contingent was unable to score in the game, wasting a solid defensive effort due to a lack of familiarity.https://digitalcollections.colgate.edu/islandora/object/studentpapers%3A3903 Cornell Humbles Colgate in Hockey The Colgate Maroon February 16, 1921 July 12, 2023
Colgate had a few weeks before the final game of the season and that enabled Pearsall and Sanford to resolve their issues. Both were back in their regular positions for the final match but the team was completely swamped by Columbia. While Sanford was able to collect a hat-trick in the match the defense collapsed and surrendered 11 goals to the Lions.http://spectatorarchive.library.columbia.edu/?a=d&d=cs19210228-01&e=-------en-20--1--txt-txIN------- Volume XLIV, Number 93 Columbia Daily Spectator February 28, 1921 March 3, 2020 June 2026 InternetArchiveBot To add insult to injury, it was the first win for Columbia on the season and left the Reds with a losing record.
George E. Anderson served as team manager with Warner Chadwick as his assistant.
