Season
editAfter one of their best seasons in 1924, Amherst entered the year hoping for more of the same. Unfortunately, poor weather conditions plagues the team throughout the year. The Lord Jeffs were only able to play five of their scheduled nine games with only one at home.[1] Amherst wasn't able to play their season opener until late January and, even then, they were forced to fight through a small blizzard against cross-town rival, Massachusetts Agricultural. Heavy wind and snow made passing very difficult, however, that did not stop Amherst from opening the scoring on a controversial play. In the first period, Norman Lawson was behind the Aggie cage and shot the puck through the netting to Malcom Cameron. Cameron then fired the puck back into the net for the score and, since there was no rule against such a play, the goal was allowed to stand. two second period goals put the Jeffs in the lead for good and they pulled out a narrow victory.[2]
The next night, Amherst played host to Bates and the two were evenly matched for most of the contest. Amherst was able to capitalize on the fatigued squad in the third and Malcom Cameron led the way with 2 goals and 2 assists in the frame.[3] The team took a quick trip to take on Army at the end of the month but their offense was silent for the entire match.
February began with another journey, this time to face Williams. The Lord Jeffs were flattened by the Ephs, completely overwhelmed by the teamwork of the home squad Malcom Cameron scored the only goal for Amherst in the 1–12 drubbing.[4] The Jeffmen then ended their season with a slightly less embarrassing loss to Hamilton.
No coach was employed for this season, however, Frederick H. Tarr served as team manager with Robert O. Anthony as his assistant.[1]
