National Hockey League (NHL) Season Review 1919-1920
After finishing the previous season with only two active teams the NHL required new franchises to remain as a viable league. Toronto was rebuilding under new ownership and would rejoin the league as the Toronto St. Patricks. The Quebec Bulldogs were finally ready to join the league, managing only 4 wins in their inagural season.
Ottawa won both halves of the season with a 9-3 record the first half and a 10-2 record the second. This eliminated the need for a playoff with Ottawa being acclaimed the NHL champion. Meanwhile in the PCHA Seattle eliminated Vancouver in the playoffs in a two game total goals series. Seattle travelled east to face off against Ottawa. Ottawa took the Cup in five games with the last two games played on artificial ice in Toronto because of the hot weather.
