# 1920–21 YMCA College men's ice hockey season

The 1920–21 Massachusetts Agricultural Aggies men's ice hockey season was the 13th season of play for the program. The Aggies were coached by Elton Mansell in his 4th season.

## Season

The hockey team met for the first time in early December and began to prepare for an 11-game season. Due to a fairly warm winter, the temporary rink was rarely usable for practice and the team was forced to train on the local lake instead.

In spite of the difficulties, including a postponement of a match with Williams, the Maroons were ready to go for their first game at Rensselaer. YMCA netted two goals within the first 8 minutes of the game and RPI responded by pulling back and trying to defend. While this curtailed the scoring for the Maroons, it also meant that their goal was not under threat. The Engineers didn't realize their mistake until YMCA made it 3–0 at the start of the second half but by then it was too late. Benny Leonard had missed the team's train when it travelled to Troy but managed to catch a later one. He changed into his equipment en route and ran to the rink from the station, arriving in time to play the final 5 minutes of the game.

J. Howard Starr served as team manager.
