Michigan Tech Huskies men's ice hockey seasons
« 2018–19 2020–21 »

The 2019–20 Michigan Tech Huskies men's ice hockey season was the 99th season of play for the program and the 58th in the WCHA conference. The Huskies represented Michigan Technological University and were coached by Joe Shawhan, in his 3rd season.

The team's season ended abruptly when the WCHA announced that the remainder of the tournament was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States on March 12, 2020.[1]
