mode
In the regular season, the five teams played 24 games each. The first place became champion. Each team received two points for a win, one point for a tie and zero points for a defeat.
Season course
Before the season, Eddie Livingstone, owner of the Toronto Shamrocks, had acquired the Toronto Blueshirts franchise , which meant too much power to the other team owners, which is why he should sell the team again. This turned out to be a fatal decision, however, as Livingstone sold the entire Blueshirts roster to the new PCHA Seattle Metropolitans team , instead integrated the Shamrocks roster into its Blueshirts franchise and disbanded the Shamrocks, leaving the NHA with a whole team and a few good player lost. In the NHA, which was reduced to five teams, the Canadiens de Montréal were sovereign champions with a seven point lead.
