New Hampshire Wildcats men's ice hockey seasons « 1946–47 1948–49 » |
The 1947–48 New Hampshire Wildcats men's ice hockey season was the 21st season of play for the program but first under the oversight of the
NCAA. The Wildcats represented the University of New Hampshire and were coached by Joseph Petroski
, in his 1st season.
Season
With new coach Pat Petroski in charge, the weather generously turned cold in December, allowing the team plenty of time to practice before their first game. Unfortunately, they were easily bested in their first game. Upon returning home, the hard work began to show when they lost a close decision to
Norwich to put themselves into contention for the inaugural NEIHL tournament. While their chances weren't good, any hope they had was erased when MIT won the rematch game and UNH sputtered to the finish.[1]
The weather, which had been good throughout January, turned on February 10 and the Wildcats found it difficult to practice thereafter.
