 leaving a vacancy in the coaching role at the Glaciarium that veteran ice hockey player Alfred Massina would need to fill.Due to incidents that occurred in the inter-rink game between the St. Moritz Bombers and Glaciarium Rangers where fighting occurred between players which included involvement with spectators and 3 players being ordered off the ice, an ongoing ban continued to be in place against these 3 St. Moritz Bombers players from playing in the Melbourne Glaciarium.Before the season would start, the St. Moritz Bombers Ice Hockey Club held a meeting on 25 May 1941 and decided that if the Melbourne Glaciarium management refused to lift the ban on these 3 players, the St. Moritz Bombers would not submit a team to compete against the Glaciarium Rangers in the inter-rink competition this year.
