Season

For their second season, Notre Dame increased its schedule from one to three games. The lack of other college ice hockey programs near Notre Dame's campus in South Bend left the administration with little recourse but to suspend operations as there was little reason to keep the program running. The geographically closest college was Cornell, nearly 600 miles away in upstate New York. The program would eventually return after World War I.

Note: Notre Dame was not officially known as the 'Fighting Irish' until 1919.
