Introduction
Organized team sports played in winter at Mount Allison did not exist before the advent of hockey in 1896. Instead, male and female students engaged in outdoor activities such as skating, tobogganing and snowshoeing. According to Mount Allison historian John G. Reid in his book, Mount Allison University: A History, to 1963, these outdoor activities, enjoyed by male and female students alike, provided “the most relaxed social setting that Mount Allison had to offer.” There was no competition involved, and the activities were open to all students, regardless of athletic ability.
