The St. Louis Eagles were a short-lived National Hockey League team based in St. Louis, playing only in the 1934–35 season. Originally the Ottawa Senators, financial struggles led them to suspend operations in 1931. Upon their return, they faced continued losses and relocated to St. Louis as the Eagles in an attempt to recover. However, increased travel costs and ongoing financial challenges forced the team to sell players, eventually leading to their demise.

Despite efforts to stabilize the franchise, including a coaching change, the Eagles struggled throughout their only season, finishing with the worst record in the league. The financial burden, primarily from travel expenses, prompted the owners to seek permission to suspend operations again, but the NHL refused. Subsequently, the league bought back the franchise, disbanded the team, and distributed its players through a dispersal draft.

Renowned for their relentless and sometimes aggressive style of play, the Senators' success was fueled by a core of Hall of Fame players, including the likes of Art Ross, King Clancy and Clint Benedict.
