Note III: The Ice and Oil Kings played last night in Edmonton with the home team taking it to the visitors. They hammered the Ice by a score of 7-0 after 40 and it ended at 7-1 which means that Edmonton defeated Winnipeg 4-1 in the Eastern Conference Final. Despite the ending it was a remarkable season for the Winnipeg based WHL club.
