The 1919- 20 National Hockey League season was the third season of the National Hockey League.

1 Regular Season

After the previous season, the NHL was struggling to make ends meet. The situation was rectified when the Toronto Arenas, who suspended operations mid-season, found new ownership a day before the regular season was slated to begin, and was 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 a game on January 31, 1920, a mark that still stands today.
