As of 2/1 Phi Delta Theta was 3-0, and Sigma Nu, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Kappa Sigma, and Alpha Tau Omega all had records of 2-1. These were the five teams remaining in the double-elimination competition.

The season was not completed due to the weather. Phi Delta Theta was awarded the championship with the best record. Alpha Tau Omega and Sigma Nu ended up in second place. Latter Day Saints forfeited the crown to the Independent team in the non-fraternity league. Given the poor ice conditions there was no championship playoff between fraternity and independent winners.
