The 1922–23 Union Skating Dutchmen men's ice hockey season was the 10th season of play for the program. The Skating Dutchmen represented Union College and were coached by Elmer Oliphant in his 1st season.

Season

The hockey team received welcome news early in the year when the school decided to build a new temporary skating rink on the campus tennis courts.^[1] Unfortunately, poor weather conditions delayed the start of practice and caused the surface to be rough and slow.^[2] The season was set to begin just a few days after the first session was finally held but the team had more to play for than wins alone; the very future of the program was at stake. In 1920, the school had reportedly spent several hundred dollars on the program with little to show for their investment. After returning in '22, the team had drawn enough interest for Union to try once more and would need to see some potential for them to sign of on setting up an intercollegiate schedule.^[3]

Knowing what was on the line for the program, the team kicked off the season in style with an impressive win over the Schenectady Wanderers, a local amateur club. After the two other Schenectady teams were forced to cancel games, the rematch with the Wanderers a week later became an impromptu championship match. Though the score was closer, the second win by Union gave the Dutchmen the city championship.^[4] Union had a few weeks to prepare for their final game of the season, a trip to Albany to play the local country club. While the team lost its final match, and had several more canceled due to poor weather, the team had made enough of an impression on the athletic department for the team to return the following year.^[5]

Dick Meyer served as team manager.
