1926-27 in English ice hockey
This was the 1926-27 season in English ice hockey:
Cambridge University defeated Manchester 2-1 at the Manchester Ice Palace in November 1926.
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."[1]
Another match played that April was a domestic one - the London Lions facing Manchester at the Westminster Ice Club. The Lions were victorious, 4-0.[2]
