The 1901–02 RPI men's ice hockey season was the inaugural season of play for the program.

Season[edit]

RPI played its first intercollegiate game against Williams College at a rink just north of Troy, New York.

Note: Rensselaer's athletic teams were unofficially known as 'Cherry and White' until 1921 when the Engineers moniker debuted for the men's basketball team.^[1]
