The 1922–23 RPI Engineers men's ice hockey season was the 20th season of play for the program. The team was coached by Leroy Clark in his 6th season.
Season Following a season with limited offensive production, Rensselaer began its twentieth year of ice hockey seeking improved performance. In the season opening against Williams, the team lost 0–3 while recording one shot on goal. One week later the Engineers faced Middlebury, a program playing its first varsity season with limited prior practice time. Middlebury remained competitive until the second half, when RPI began scoring. Reuther recorded a hat-trick in the game, exceeding the team's total scoring output from 1922 and securing the program's first victory in nearly two years.
Unfortunately, the team didn't have a chance to build upon their win as the next game for the Engineers didn't come for almost 3 weeks. In the interim the Engineers practiced as much as they could so by the time they hit the ice in West Point the team looked bit more composed than they did in January. RPI lost to Army, however, they were playing a squad that had just taken down one of the best teams in the country and the fact that RPI could hold its own was a testament to the team's improvement. Unfortunately, whatever positive signs was shown against the Cadets vanished in the final two games. Rensselaer was hammered by both Amherst and Williams, losing by a combined score of 1–15.
Even with the embarrassing loses, Rensselaer had shown modest improvement. However, it was not enough for the team's head coach as Leroy Clark stepped down from his post after the season.
