The 1919–20 Boston College men's ice hockey season was the 3rd season of play for the program.
Season
[edit]With the vast majority of interested colleges ready to go for the 1919–20 season, Boston College was finally able to play a full schedule of games. While that amounted to just 7 games that was still more than they had played over the previous two seasons combined. After beginning with a win over the Yankee Division Club team, BC dropped a three overtime game to Massachusetts Agricultural College, one of the top second-tier schools. Ten days later the team lost again, this time to MIT[1] after the rematch with MAC had to be scrubbed.
The losses lit a fire under the players who ran roughshod over their next three opponents, posting three consecutive shutouts. Even when they did finally surrender a goal, BC refused to lose for the remainder of the season and finished with a 6–2 record. Despite the success, former team captain Walter Falvey stepped down as head coach after the season.
Note: Boston College's athletic programs weren't known as the 'Eagles' until 1920.
