Season

After narrowly missing out on an Intercollegiate title the previous year, came in the season as one of the favorites for an bid into the newly created NCAA tournament.[1] The Bulldogs were a bit slow off the mark as they struggled to earn a win in their opening game against Brown, who were back on the ice for the first time since 1939.[2] The Elis looked much better in their second game when they rolled to an easy victory over Colby.[3]

Yale racked up a third early-season win but then went on an 18-day vacation over the winter break. When the team returned to the ice they looked sluggish and Army took advantage, handing the Elis their first loss of the year.[4]
