REGULAR SEASON After the previous season, the NHL was struggling to make ends meet. The situation was rectified when the Toronto Arenas (who had suspended operations with two games left in the previous season) found new ownership a day before the regular season was slated to begin, and were renamed the Toronto St. Patricks . The Quebec Bulldogs , who did not ice teams in the first two seasons of the NHL due to financial concerns, finally fielded a team, although they were not successful. Despite a dismal record of 2-10 in both halves of the season, the Bulldogs' Joe Malone scored seven goals in one game on January 31 , 1920 , a mark that still stands today.

Representing the Pacific Coast Hockey Association this year was the Seattle Metropolitans , who battled in a very tight PCHA, where two wins separated its three teams. The previous year saw the championship played out west. This year, it was played in Ottawa, but with unseasonalbly warm weather, the final two games were played in Toronto's Arena Gardens.
