This was the 1926-27 season in English ice hockey:
Cambridge University defeated Manchester 2-1 at the Manchester Ice Palace on November 20, 1926.[1] Manchester was set to face London Lions at the Ice Palace on December 4.[2] The 1927 Varsity Match between Oxford and Cambridge University was played on January 6 at St. Moritz.
There was an ice hockey match played between the Old Borstalians and a team known as The Hedgehogs, won 8-3 by the latter side. Lord Sidcup, who played for the Hedgehogs, fell and cut his knee, but insisted it was only a minor injury.[3]
Peter Patton described the season in his 1936 Ice Hockey publication: "In December 1926, Princes Club was re-formed and took a team to St. Moritz, where Davos was played. Injuries caused several members of the English team to be absent from this match, so Davos won 8-0.
The Ice Club, Westminster, which opened this season, was the venue for the first match ever played in England by a team from Canada. The English team, however, with the exception of one of the two goalkeepers, was composed of Canadians resident in the country. The Montreal Victorias led 12-0 at the end of the second period. In the third period, when the other English goalkeeper was playing, was a much more even one; the visitors only scored twice more, and B.N. Sexton, the English captain, got our one and only goal in reply.
In April a Belgian team came to the Ice Club and lost a good game against England by 3-1."[4]
The first ice hockey games at the Westminster Ice Club were played on February 23, 1927. The London Lions faced Oxford University, while the London Ice Club opposed a combined team.[5] The Lions defeated Oxford by the score of 5-1.[6] The London Ice Club faced Prince's in another game at the Ice Club March 1927.[7] Another match at the Ice Club was played in April, the London Lions taking on Manchester. The Lions were victorious, 4-0.[8]
