1919–20 American ice hockey season

This was the 1919-20 American ice hockey season:

Overview

From Spalding's Ice Hockey Guide 1921

In general, the 1919-20 season was one of the most successful in the history of hockey in the United States. Many large crowds were attracted and keener interest shown in the^ competitions. Greater advancement was made in placing this exciting winter sport on an organized basis. The greatest achievement of all was accomplished when an American hockey team was sent to compete in the Olympic games. It had been thought impossible. The players were not first, but they made a very creditable showing and by finishing second established the position of the United States firmly in hockey annals.

Pittsburgh was in a measure the hockey enter of the United States in 1919-20. The game thrived in Boston, Cleveland, St. Paul, Calumet, Houghton and the American Soo. Late in the year a start was made at Philadelphia with bright prospects for coming years.

It was the first season of the new alliance agreement between the International Skating and Hockey Association [formerly the International Skating Union], which is affiliated with the A.A.U., and the Canadian Hockey Association. This placed the International Skating and Hockey Association in absolute control of hockey in the United States and the Canadian Hockey Association in control of the game in Canada, with mutual recognition of the authority of each. The first team to enroll was the famous P.A.A. team of Pittsburgh. In a short time all the teams in Boston, Cleveland, St. Paul, Calumet, Houghton and the American Soo were under one authorized head, something which had never before been possible in United States hockey. The best teams in Canada came to the United States to play, and there were also exciting inter-city contests.

At a preliminary meeting at Boston in February it was decided, if possible, to send an American team to the Olympic games. An elimination series was arranged between Boston, Pittsburgh and the winning team of the American Hockey Association, which turned out to be St. Paul. At that time it was intended to send intact whichever team won this series. Five games were played at Boston and Pittsburgh and this series was won by the P.A.A. of Pittsburgh by a score of four games to two. St. Paul then traveled to Pittsburgh and the P.A.A. team again showed its superiority by winning the series by two games to one.

It was then discovered there were ineligibles on account of citizenship. At a meeting in Pittsburgh in March, attended by the writer, George V. Brown, Secretary-Treasurer of the International Skating and Hockey Union, who held the proxy of President Cornelius Fellowes, and Roy D. Schooley, Chairman of the Rules Committee and manager of the P.A.A. hockey team, it was decided to pick a team from Boston, Pittsburgh and St. Paul. Mr. Schooley was named as manager, with full authority to make the selections. He selected the following players: Geran, Tuck and Synott of Boston, Weidenborner, Conroy, Goheen and Fitzgerald of St. Paul, and Capt. Joe McCormick, Larry McCormick, Drury and Bonney of Pittsburgh.

The team was brought to Pittsburgh and under his jurisdiction was welded into a first-class organization. They played five games in Pittsburgh before going to the Olympic games.

In efforts to finance the team Pittsburgh raised $4,000. The remainder of the money was provided by the American-'O'lympic Committee. At the last moment, due to illness in his family, Mr. Schooley was unable to accompany the team, and President Fellowes was placed in charge. The record of the team at Antwerp was most creditable. It won second place, being defeated by the Canadians by the close score of 2 to 0. The P.A.A. team continued its victorious career, winning an overwhelming majority of victories, and also retained the Fellowes Cup. With a continued firm hold from the governing end and an addition of more cities, hockey for the coming season should be one of the big sports of the United States."

The Detroit Hockey League was contested on outdoor rinks in the area during the 1920 season. It was divided into two divisions, the Border City Stars winning the red group, and the Webers claiming the orange group. They were slated to meet in a championship final, but no records exist of it being played. The American Amateur Hockey League returned this winter, and featured two teams from Michigan in it, the American Soo and the Portage Lakes Hockey Club.

Minneapolis Park League teams

Planned playing schedules for the Park League

The St. Paul Athletic Club returned to compete in the American Amateur Hockey Association once again. They finished tied for first with the Canadian Soo and later faced Pittsburgh AA in the Olympic Qualifying Tournament, losing the series two games to one. The Duluth American Legion fielded a strong independent team this winter. Eveleth and Hibbing also had talented teams.

The Minneapolis Park Hockey League resumed play for 1919-20. An overview of the league season from Spalding's Ice Hockey Guide 1921: "The hockey season began December 28, 1919, with twenty teams representing social and community center interests from various parts of the city. The association was divided into Senior and Junior Divisions 1 and 2, with little, if any, difference in playing strength. In the Senior and Junior No. 1 Divisions sixteen teams competed, while Junior No. 2 embraced four teams.

The handsome "Struck" perpetual challenge cups were the trophy objectives in the Senior and Junior No. 1 Divisions, and Ward C. Burton, another hockey enthusiast, donated ten gold medals to the winning team in the Junior No. 2 Division. In this division the Deephavens, Raccoons and Ascensions supplied spirited competition, while the Heatherdale A.C., owing to illness of players, was unable to win, yet finished the schedule with enthusiasm. The Raccoons won the championship by defeating the Ascension team in the final game of the schedule ; Deephavens, Ascensions and Heatherdales finished in the order named.

In the Junior No. 1 Division the Logan Parks, Stewart A.C. and Powderhorn Parks competed with vigor against the Lagoons, Camden Juniors and Maple Hills. The Logan Parks won the championship from Stewart A.C. in a final game which required two extra ten-minute periods to determine the winner. The elimination contest for the championship of the junior divisions, between the Raccoons and Logan Parks, created keen rivalry, as both teams represented the unified community center interests at Logan Park. The Logan Parks finally caged the puck on a well executed team play and won the dual championship.

Play in the senior division produced amazingly keen competition. Vertex, tri-champions of the association; Camden Seniors, Midway Merchants and East Side A.C. formed a quartet of veteran teams and the struggle for the "Struck" trophy was filled with thrilling competition. Lake Hennepin Merchants, North Commons, headed the second division, and Lake Minnetonka and A.B.C., owing to a belated start, failed to get in the running.

Very little difference between the first four teams characterized the season's play, with Vertex leading most of the season until temporarily displaced by East Side A.C. The schedule closed with Camden Seniors and Vertex tied for the major prize. This tie game was played at Logan Park in sub-zero temperature. It went into extra periods and finished in a tie.

The following Sunday these teams met and Vertex's team work and aggressive system of play proved a decisive factor in winning the senior championship. Interest in municipal hockey was at this time centered in the city championship, between the aggressive Logan Parks, dual champions of Divisions No. 1 and No. 2, Junior, and the veteran Vertex seven, champions of the senior division.

This decisive game was played at the Logan Park rink and both teams resorted to defensive play during the first period, with honors even. In the final period, however, the Vertex seven opened an aggressive attack that carried the puck to the Logan Parks' cage and captured the city championship for the fourth consecutive time."
