The 1920–21 Columbia Lions men's ice hockey season was the 20th season of play for the program.

Season

[edit]

After resigning from the Intercollegiate Hockey Association in 1912 the ice hockey team had difficulties scheduling games due to no longer having the St. Nicholas Rink as a venue. The team was unable to play a single game in either 1916 or 1917 and while a group of students did manage to play four games during the 1917–18 season, it was done informally and not as representatives of Columbia University.[1] In 1920 an effort was made to revive the team and the 181st Street Ice Palace was secured as a practice facility. Once enough interest had been demonstrated and a team was formed, manager A. L. Walker Jr. put together a tentative schedule.[2]

Columbia opened its season against Yale and, unsurprisingly for a team that hadn't played in six seasons, lost 5–7.[3] The Lions took more than two weeks to play their next game and, once they did, they found themselves on a sheet of ice nearly double the size of their practice rink.[4] In their game against Williams the team began well, leading 1–0 after the first, but slumped badly in the middle frame, allowing 5 goals and losing any chance they had at winning their first game of the season.[5]

After letting another early lead slip away against Cornell a lineup change seemed to give Columbia the spark they needed and the Lions mauled Colgate 11–3, winning their first game in over six years.[6]
