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.[1]

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.
