Fog enveloped the ice surface most of the time and often only the upper extremities of the play- ers were visible. Somebody re- marked that hockey looked better that way.

An inch or two of water covered the playing surface and a few of the players received unscheduled cold show- ers. The shutout was the first of the training season for goalie 'Harry Lumley but he was strictly on the honor system for most of the first two periods.
