Bates was whipped 0–5 by their more experienced and better supplied opponents but didn't let the loss scuttle their season. The next week, after addressing some of their issues, the team looked much better against an amateur outfit from Berlin. The defense showed up well and didn't allow a single goal to the men from New Hampshire. The only problem what that Bates couldn't score either. Even after 2 overtime periods the scoresheet remained empty. Captain Cutler won a coin toss and decided to extend the game by two additional 10-minute periods and the gamble paid off. Cutler scored the only goal of the match in the third extra period and the defense held for the remainder of time to give the program its first ever win.https://archive.org/details/Bates_Student_1921/page/n9/mode/2up Bates Defeats Berlin in Sensational Game Bates Student January 28, 1921 June 8, 2023 Two days later, Cutler scored a pair of goal en route to the team's second win and first over local rival Bowdoin. Bates continued to roll with a 10–0 win over the St. Dominique team from Lewiston. Many substitutions were used in the game and allowed the regulars to play out of place. Wiggin, the regular goaltender for Bates, got a spell at wing and managed to score one of the team's goals.https://archive.org/details/Bates_Student_1921/page/n15/mode/2up Hockey Bates Student February 4, 1921 June 8, 2023 Bates suffered a setback in their next game and got swamped by the Portland Country Club and then lost the rematch with Berlin in overtime.
