The league, based in Târgu Mureş, was fraught with issues, with some teams withdrawing (Miercurea Ciuc did so on January 13, and it was noted that Brasov was considering pulling out too), and others being suspended for failing to pay their membership dues. After only a few games had been played, Muresul Târgu Mureş was named champion of their group, and slated to advance to the national championship. The sporting public and Universitatea, who wanted to play Muresul, protested this. It was said that the issue of Universitatea’s suspension could be rightly debated, and that the league’s business had been so poor it had done little to boost ice hockey in Transylvania. Muresul was officially recognized as champions following their win over Sighisoara.

The following teams competed in the third division of the regional championship: Olimpia-Club, Sparta, Monte Carlo, CFR, and Politechnicha.

Final tournament

The top team from each regional group qualified for the final tournament, which was held in Cernauti, beginning on January 22. Telefon Club Bucharest qualified from the southern group, SS Mureşul Târgu Mureş qualified from the central group, and Dragos Voda Cernauti made it from the northern group.

The first game of the tournament saw Dragos Voda Cernauti defeat SS Mureşul Târgu Mureş by a score of 2-0. The second game pitted Telefon Club Bucharest against SS Mureşul Târgu Mureş. With Telefon Club leading 5-0, the game was interrupted due to unruly spectators. As a result, Telefon's management elected to leave Cernăuţi and the tournament. The game between Telefon Club and Dragos Voda Cernauti, scheduled for the following day, was then ruled a 5-0 forfeit victory for Dragos Voda, which meant they had won the tournament and were Romanian champions, by virtue of their victory over Muresul on the first day.

The ruling was later appealed by Telefon Club, and the Romanian Ice Hockey Federation originally ruled in their favor. However, after further deliberation, the federation reverted back to their initial ruling (made during the tournament), and awarded Dragos Voda Cernauti the championship.
