League business
The league finally dropped the position of rover, adopting the six-man hockey of the National Hockey League (NHL), eleven years after the National Hockey Association (NHA) dropped it.
The Vancouver Millionaires were renamed the Maroons, and the Victoria Aristocrats were renamed the Cougars. The season was increased to 30 games per team, including eight games against Western Canada Hockey League (WCHL) teams.
Vancouver acquired Corbett Denneny from Toronto for Jack Adams and signed Frank Boucher from Ottawa.
Frank Fredrickson had an outstanding season, scoring 41 goals in thirty games.
