Playoffs[]

Note:The Quebec Amateur Hockey Association was suspended by the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association on March 1. This meant that the Quebec junior champion could not compete in the Memorial Cup playoffs.

Faced with the loss of one round of Memorial Cup playoffs, this league increased the length of several of its own series to compensate.
