The 1916-17 season was the sixth regular season for the Pacific Coast Hockey Association (PCHA). Masters became the Seattle Metropolitans .
Team changes
The following changes were made before the start of the season:
- The Victoria Aristocrats were relocated to Spokane , Washington , and changed their name to Spokane Canaries .
mode
In the regular season, the four teams played between 23 and 24 games. The first place after the regular season became champions. Each team received two points for a win, one point for a tie and zero points for a defeat.
Season course
The second franchise relocation in PCHA history took place at the beginning of the season. Since the Victoria Cougars had attracted only a few spectators in the last place, the team was relocated to Spokane, Washington, and was named Spokane Canaries. This left Vancouver as the only Canadian team against three US teams. The relocation of the Aristocrats to Spokane, however, had neither a sporting nor a special effect on the number of spectators, so that the Comries also stopped playing after the season, after having previously waived the last game of the season against Vancouver.

Stanley Cup Challenge
As PCHA champions, the Seattle Metropolitans met for the Stanley Cup on the Canadiens de Montréal from the National Hockey Association , who were not allowed to use their player Reg Noble because he was accused of too many teams during the season. With 3-1 victories in the Best-of-Five series, the Metropolitans became the first American team to ever win the Stanley Cup.
