Though Yale began the season with a win, the team had a rather poor start by losing eight of the next nine games. The two main causes for the defeats was a subpar goaltending performance from returning starter Nathan Reid and an almost total lack of offense. In the first five weeks of their season, Yale was limited to less than 2 goals in more than half of their games and had only managed to get 30 shots on goal in one contest. The team wasn't able to get on track until mid-December when both the offense and defense began improving. After struggling through his first few starts, Jack Stark grew accustomed to the college game and the rest of the team responded in kind.
After returning form the winter break, the offense came to life and won three games in a row to put the Bulldogs right in the middle of the ECAC standings. Unfortunately, scoring remained inconsistent and the team lost the next four games to put them back near the bottom of the conference. A brief at the start of February put the Elis into contention for a home stand in the postseason but Yale went winless in its final five games and sentenced the team to travelling for the playoff matches.
In the middle of another cold spell for their offense, Yale met St. Lawrence for a First Round matchup. While the Elis had no trouble getting the puck on net, they were faced with a stellar performance from the Saints' netminder. Yale scored twice but Stark was unable to match his counterpart and the Elis fell 2–4 to end their season.
