1938–39 Cornell Big Red men's ice hockey season

The team was forced to pay their own way to get to the cite and, due to several players living too far away during the Christmas break, the Big Red were handicapped before the games were even played.

After defeating the ordinarily powerful Hamilton Continentals in the second game, Cornell finished their otherwise successful appearance with a narrow loss to Williams.

[2] Cornell was set to face Colgate immediately after returning from the break, however, rain and warm weather forced the match to be cancelled.

Cornell had scheduled a match against Columbia in late January, their last chance for a home game, but the Lions ended up cancelling their entire season.
