BUT
This series was washed out because Charlottetown used Erwin Grosse who was ineligible. Glace Bay was awarded the series and actually played the first game of the final series against Halifax. Halifax won that game 6-4 at home on April 2.
After appeals and intervention by the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association it was decided to play a best of 3 series between Charlottetown and Glace Bay. The 5-3 win by Charlottetown in the last game would be counted because Erwin Grosse didn't play in it.
