The Engineers were coached by Bill Stewart in his 3rd season. Season When MIT hit the ice for their first preseason practice in early November, coach Stewart had more than 40 candidates to pick from. He would have to completely remake the defense as all three of last years' starters had graduated.https://thetech.com/issues/47/69/pdf FORTY CANDIDATES REPORT FOR HOCKEY The Tech November 11, 1927 November 28, 2023 With nearly a month before their first game, the team had ample opportunity to round into form. Despite this, the team was not expected to threaten the defending intercollegiate champions, Harvard. Sure enough, the Crimson controlled the game from start to finish, handing the Engineers a rather embarrassing 0–9 defeat.https://thetech.com/issues/47/80/pdf WEAK SHOWING OF ENGINEER SEXTET RESULTS IN DEFEAT The Tech December 12, 1927 November 28, 2023 Tech had nearly another month before their next game and, though they had the winter break in between, coach Stewart tried to address some of the problems that had been pointed out in the loss. Unfortunately, the team came up against another of the nation's top squads and was handed a second drubbing, this time by Dartmouth.https://thetech.com/issues/47/85/pdf Beavers Clash With Yale The Tech January 6, 1928 November 28, 2023 Things continued to trend in the wrong direction in the third game. Yale was another of the teams vying for a championship and they proved their mettle with a 1–12 steamrolling of the Engineers.https://thetech.com/issues/47/86/pdf BULLDOGS SWAMP ENGINEER SEXTET The Tech January 9, 1928 November 28, 2023 While the team felt the absence of Duplin in the match, its doubtful that a full-strength MIT would have fared much better against the Elis. With only terrible results on their resume, the team packed it in for the remainder of January and didn't have another game scheduled until after the exam break. Upon their return, Bill Cullinan, who had been on last year's squad, returned to school and was eligible to play once more.https://thetech.com/issues/48/2/pdf untitled The Tech February 10, 1928 November 28, 2023 Unfortunately for the team, the weather began to warm towards the beginning of February and caused the team to cancel their next four games. The team could only practice and wait for better conditions but, in the end, they were only able to play one more game on the year. In mid March the team took a trip south to play Brown. Taking advantage of their weak opponent, MIT was finally able to get its first win of the year. Crosby, Donahue and White each scored in the game to send the seniors off in style.https://thetech.com/issues/48/17/pdf BEAVER HOCKEY MEN DEFEAT BROWN 4 TO 3 The Tech March 19, 1928 November 28, 2023 Paul Donahue served as team manager with.https://web.mit.edu/technique/www/scans/1928_Technique.pdf 1928 Technique Massachusetts Institute of Technology November 14, 2023 Roster yes Walter F.
