The Turtle Grove Recreation Club and a picked team were set to play a hockey game in Dartmouth on February 12, 1892.[9] The Turtle Grove Recreation Club challenged the Halifax Crescents to a game of hockey at the Dartmouth rink on March 2.[10]

"In a three-mile skating race at Dartmouth Rink that winter “Sandy” Patterson, who could cut around corners with ease, had no trouble defeating Charles Gordon the well-known speedster of Montreal. Ice-sports and carnivals were held frequently, but only an occasional hockey match of importance because the Chebucto team had not much competition either in Halifax or Dartmouth."[11]
