Season
editDue to renovations to their regular home venue, the Appleton Arena, St. Lawrence began their season using SUNY-Canton's building for scheduled home games.[2] Construction delays further pushed back the Appleton Arena opener until the end of January. By that time, however, their season was a shambles with the team recording only 3 wins in 25 games.
