1925: The college hockey season in Boston opened at the Arena as Boston University defeated their cross-river rivals, M.I.T, with the BU Band going at its best. The first period resembled a scrimmage more then a hockey game and both goalies had quiet sessions in net. John Lawless got the Terriers on the board first, but Tech evened the score later in the period when Weissnar followed up on Randall’s shot and put the puck past BU goalie Don Martin.

The Terriers outplayed M.I.T. in the second period as its passing game was better timed and the Engineers could not stop them. Ovila Gregoire gave BU the lead for good when he followed up on a long shot and caught Tech goalie Deignan trying to sweep the puck away from the front of the net. Deignan stopped the next four shots before the puck whizzed past him on a shot by Gregoire from nearly center ice. Terrier captain Rod Ling scored BU’s fourth goal when he snapped the puck between Deignan’s legs from scrimmage in front of the net.

M.I.T. put an extra man on the forward line in the third period while Richards was given an opportunity to show his stuff, as he replaced Deignan in net. These changes held off the Terrier except when Gregoire and Julian Kontoff beat Tech’s forward line, got by Crandall on defense and put a pair of shots on Richards that he saved before Kontoff put the puck past him while he was sprawled on the ice.
