Season

After sagging to the bottom of the college hockey ranks in 1908 Dartmouth responded by hiring its first head coach. Though John Eames would only last one year behind the bench, the team responded well and finished with a team-record 11 wins. The Green would not reach double-digit wins again until 1923.

Note: Dartmouth College did not possess a moniker for its athletic teams until the 1920s, however, the university had adopted 'Dartmouth Green' as its school color in 1866.
