The Rossland Intermediates were said to have been the Trail Intermediates in six consecutive games. Trail then went on a barnstorming tour, beating teams in Nelson, Kaslo, Sandon, New Denver and Slocan City.

A Vancouver team of "established stars" challenged Nelson to a game for "top British Columbia hockey honors", but the squad could not be organized and the challenge fell through.

Crows Nest Pass League

• 1/3: Coleman (AB) - Moyie 9:4
• 1/10: Coleman (AB) - Fernie 8:1 @ Fernie
• Fernie - Moyie 5:3
• Moyie - Fernie 12:2
• Moyie - Coleman (AB) 3:2 @ Moyie - Coleman left ice with three minutes to play, the scored tied 2:2; a Coleman player was unable to continue and they wanted Moyie to drop a player too; Moyie was willing to let Coleman's spare play, but the latter declined this and quit; Moyie then slid the puck into the unguarded goal, thus claiming victory

Moyie presumably won the league.
