The 1923/24 season was the Pacific Coast Hockey Association's (PCHA) 13th and final regular season . The champions became the Vancouver Maroons .

mode

In the regular season, the three teams played 30 games each. The two first-placed teams then met each other for the championship title in two-legged matches, with the better goal difference from both games being decisive. In the regular season, the league played in a joint game plan with the teams of the Western Canada Hockey League . Each team received two points for a win, one point for a tie and zero points for a defeat.

Season course

Again the teams of the PCHA played in a common game plan with those of the Western Canada Hockey League . While the PCHA teams won the majority of the games between teams from both leagues in the previous year, this time they lost 29 of 48 games against the WCHL teams, so that all three PCHA teams ultimately showed a negative balance. In the championship final of the PCHA, the Vancouver Maroons beat the Seattle Metropolitans, who had one point more in the regular season, just 2: 2 and 2: 1. Following the season, the Seattle Metropolitans withdrew from gaming and the two remaining PCHA franchises from Vancouver and Victoria switched to the WCHL, which meant the end for the PCHA.
