 However, on November 17, 1935, the Cleveland Falcons defeated the Shamrocks in Cleveland, 2-0, and the team began a five-game losing streak.Included in that streak was a 3–0 loss to the Buffalo Bisons which resulted in the "Pittsburgh Press" describing the Shamrocks as "a very mediocre team".Finally, goaltender Joe Starke ended the streak and earned the first Shamrocks shutout in a 1-0 win over the London Tecumsehs.
