BC Hockey League

The competition was originally divided into the East Kootenay League, composed of Coleman (AB), Fernie, and Moyie, and the West Kootenay League with Rossland, Nelson and Grand Forks. Grand Forks dropped out, instead opting to join the Boundary League, and Moyie was moved to the West division. The East division then collapsed, leaving Rossland, Nelson and Moyie to play in the BC League.
