Johns Hopkins Black and Blue

The Johns Hopkins Black and Blue (the university would not use the nickname Blue Jays until around 1920) were a men's collegiate ice hockey team representing Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland. 
The team played in the first game when the North Avenue Ice Palace opened on December 26, 1894, and featured a seven-per-side game of ice hockey between a team of Johns Hopkins University students and players from the Baltimore Athletic Club. The game ended in a 2–2 draw. This may have been the first game of ice hockey played on a sheet of artificial ice and was one of the first in the United States. The game was 60 minutes, with two halves of 30 minutes. Attendance for the opening and game was recorded as about 2,500.
The team was one of the original American collegiate ice hockey teams that started with the 1895–96 United States collegiate men's ice hockey season. The team would play two games against the Yale Bulldogs in February of 1896. The first game was held on February 1st and ended up in a 2-2 tie. A second game was played on February 14th and resulted in a 2-1 Yale victory.http://archives.yalealumnimagazine.com/issues/03_02/old_yale.html The team would stop playing after the 1897-98 season when the ice make capabilities of the North Avenue Ice Palace was removed.
