Valleyfield Braves beat Toronto St Michaels Monarchs 9 points to 5 and were awarded the Alexander Cup.


Notes on Final[]

1. The May 5th game was stopped at midnight at a tie because of the Ontario law banning games on Sundays.

2. It was decided that the May 10th game would be worth 4 points in order to speed up the series. It was very late in the season and the attendance was very poor (4-5000 per game).


Notes on Playoffs[]

1. The Valleyfield Braves had to play their home games at Montreal because their hometown arena was not big enough to satisfy the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association.

2. The Toronto-Saskatoon semi-final series was only the second playoff ever to be played in both Eastern and Western Canada. The first was in the 1947-48 Western Canada Memorial Cup Playoffs. The only other amateur series that dd so was the 1968-69 Memorial Cup Final.
