1939–40 Lehigh Engineers men's ice hockey season

Season
After receiving financial backing from the university, the ice hockey team was able to become a varsity squad for the first time in 1939. The outfit also joined the newly formed Pennsylvania Intercollegiate Hockey League, however, since the circuit included non-collegiate team it was only an informal conference. Lehigh began the season well with a credible performance against Penn, followed by their first win over the Cubs. At the time, Ray Anderson was leading the league scoring with 5 points, however, the team's offense dried up after that. The Engineers scored just 4 goals in their final three games and ended the season on a down note, getting thumped by Penn State 2–8.

W. Rodman Turner served as team manager with Allen H. Zane and Arthur L. Fisher as assistants.
