1924–25 Syracuse Orangemen ice hockey season
College ice hockey team season
The 1924–25 Syracuse Orangemen ice hockey season was the 4th season of play for the program. The Orangemen represented Syracuse University and were coached by Ernest Paul and Professor Hugh Keenleyside.
Season
For the team's second official season, the players hit the ice as early as possible to get in as much practice as they could before the opening game. This was critical as most of the players had little to no experience with organized hockey. Their efforts appeared to work as the club won its season opener against Clarkson with Snow and Kopkind combining for three goals. Unfortunately, very little went right for the Orangemen afterwards.
After their second match with the Crescent Athletic Club was cancelled, the team was downed by Sedgwick Farms to the tune of 1–3. poor weather conditioned then set in, not only forcing the cancellation of three more matches (all against college opponents), but prevented the team from getting any on-ice practice. Syracuse managed to get in two games towards the end of the season but weren't able to win either.
Bernard Kopkind served as team manager.

Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as college ice hockey team season. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Mar 1, 2026.

A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
