Season

With the West Park Ice Palace being built, the Quakers had a facility with stable ice to rely upon for the season. They were able to play an expanded schedule against mostly local teams and even compete in a local hockey league.[1] The team ended up in a tie for second place with the since-closed Pennsylvania Dental College at a 3–2 record. Penn tied PDC twice during the season but as many leagues didn't count ties so those games were left off of the final standings. Because Wayne Country Club was part of the league it cannot be counted as a college conference.

Standings for the Philadelphia Hockey Clubs are included for reference.
