Season
editAfter suspending play in the wake of the fire that burned down the original Boston Arena, BU returned to the ice in 1919. Unfortunately, because the team was unable to come to an arrangement with the operators of the new Arena, they were forced to find other venues. The first game for the team was arranged on the fly as Massachusetts Agricultural was originally slated to play MIT. Though BU stepped in, the team had only been on the ice for one practice and were outclassed to such a great degree that the reporters didn't bother giving an account of the game.[1] A few weeks later the team met Boston College and, once more, were completely out of their depth. By the end of the first half, BC was ahead by 7 goals. The Eagles essentially took the second half off but still added to their total.[2]
After the two embarrassing losses, the team was again mothballed until the school could find a home for the program.
Note: Boston University's athletic programs weren't known as the 'Terriers' until 1922.
