1930–31 Philadelphia Quakers season

The 1930–31 Philadelphia Quakers season was the Quakers' sole season in the National Hockey League (NHL). The team moved from Pittsburgh, where they had played as the Pittsburgh Pirates since 1925.

Offseason
The team relocated to Philadelphia and was in the charge of Benny Leonard, the prizefighter who held the world lightweight title from 1917 to 1925.

On October 18, 1930, 13 players, including player-coach Frank Fredrickson, were transferred to the Quakers from Pittsburgh. But Fredrickson was released two days later and replaced by Cooper Smeaton, who resigned his position as the league’s referee-in-chief to become the Quakers head coach.

Regular season
The team finished with 12 points for the season, the worst performance in the six-year history of the Pirate/Quaker franchise. The team lost $100,000 on its operations and folded after the season. As a result, Philadelphia was left without an NHL franchise until the Flyers arrived in 1967.
