The Bulldogs represented Ferris State University and were coached by Bob Daniels, in his 29th season.

As a result of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic the entire college ice hockey season was delayed.

Because the NCAA had previously announced that all winter sports athletes would retain whatever eligibility they possessed through at least the following year, none of Ferris State's players would lose a season of play.

The only saving grace for the Bulldogs is a tie they earned against Bemidji State, a ranked team no less.

In the end, however, Ferris State went winless against their peers, an ignominious achievement accomplished by just two other teams in history: 1961 Brown and 1962 Colorado College.
