There were talks of forming a league with teams in Vernon, Enderby, Armstrong, Revelstoke, and Kamloops, but this did not materialize.
Once again, there were two active teams in Spokane - the Spokane Amateur Athletic Club and Wood's Independents (formerly the Eagles).
- Spokane Amateur Athletic Club - Wood's Independents 3:1
- Wood's Independents - Spokane Amateur Athletic Club 6:4
- Wood's Independents - Spokane Amateur Athletic Club 6:2
Teams from Rossland and Nelson were challenged to come play in Spokane, but this did not happen as the Electrical Workers union announced that the Star Shingle company (which owned the rink in Spokane), was on the "unfair list", thus preventing several hockey playing union members on the BC teams from playing at the venue.
After the season, the Spokane rink was taken over by an ice making company. Hockey was not played regularly again in Spokane until 1916.
