1920–21 Dartmouth Indians men's ice hockey season

The 1920–21 Dartmouth Indians men's ice hockey season was the 15th season of play for the program. The Indians were coached by Leon Tuck in his 1st season.

Season
Fresh from winning a silver medal at the 1920 Summer Olympics, new head coach Leon Tuck took over a program looking to finally get over the hump. Though they were still forced to use a natural surface for their home rink, Dartmouth was able to gather a team together that looked primed for a championship early. The team won its first three games and then travelled south for its first big test of the year. Unfortunately, the Indians weren't as good on unfamiliar surfaces as they were at home and Dartmouth suffered a pair of embarrassing losses in Boston.

After being shutout in back-to-back games, the Indians returned home and paused for the exam break. When the season resumed in mid-February, the offense was still finding it difficult to score and Dartmouth extended their scoreless streak to three games. The main culprit in the Yale match was the extremely poor ice that caused the game to be called off just 3 minutes into the second period. No such excuse was available in the following game against MIT Engineers and Dartmouth posted a program-worst fourth consecutive game without a single goal to their credit. The Indians were finally able to get on the board against St. Paul's School but extended their winless streak to 5 games and, by all accounts, their season looked like it was spiraling into the abyss.

The games against Williams saw the team suddenly change its fortunes. Led by a hat-trick from defenseman J. Philip Bower, the Indians posted their first win in a month and a half. The offensive explosion carried over into the final two games of the year when Dartmouth headed down to Philadelphia for a 2-game stay at the Ice Palace. Dartmouth easily took down a pair of undermanned teams as both Penn and Princeton were missing several of their regulars. The final two games were played with 6-man units with Perry moving from rover to cover point.
