The team's name was changed to the Brooklyn Americans and the team moved its practices to the Brooklyn Ice Palace. The club would continue to rent Madison Square Garden for games.

The United States entered World War II after the December 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor, and the Americans suspended operations after the season, expecting many of their players to enlist.
