1940–41 Cornell Big Red men's ice hockey season

The Big Red began with a game against Colgate, the defending champion, and ended up losing their chance at the title straight away.

[3] Entering the next game, Cornell was able to get a weeks-worth of practice under their belt and hoped to get back on the winning side of the ledger.

The game was played before 3,000 spectators and the audience was able to witness the Ephs hand Cornell their fourth consecutive loss of the season.
