Crescent-Hamilton Athletic Club

The Crescent-Hamilton Athletic Club was an American semi-professional ice hockey team based in Brooklyn, New York. The team played their home games at Madison Square Garden and were named for Hamilton Avenue, which runs through northwest Brooklyn.

History

After the demise of the Tri-State Hockey League, most of the former teams formed a new circuit, the Eastern Amateur Hockey League. The Crescent-Hamilton Athletic Club was founded as an inaugural member and began play in the fall of 1933. Despite playing their games at Madison Square Garden, Hamilton A.C. was not a hit in the ticket office; the team finished their first season well below.500. The club recovered in year two, winning the league title with a record of 15–5–1 but that turned out to be their swan song as the club was disbanded after the year.
