Schedule and playoffs
[edit]All six teams played their conference opponents 8 times each.
Expansion and relocation
[edit]Due in large part to their distance from the other league members, W. J. Holmes sold the Winnipeg Maroons to Patrick brothers who then moved the team to St. Louis.[1] Continuing the league's movement southward, the AHA placed its first expansion franchise in Tulsa, Oklahoma, hoping to take advantage of the soon-to-be-completed Tulsa Coliseum.[2]
