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.

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.

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 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.
