Season 13 was exciting down to the very last game, which the Millionaires won to secure their second consecutive regular-season pennant (and thus home-ice advantage throughout the playoffs), denying the Bulldogs their first-ever pennant in the process. It was a frantic second half for the Millies (the reigning Creighton Cup champions), whose midseason swoon resulted in Jimmy Gardner being stripped of his captaincy as well as his roster spot, and Harry "Rat" Westwick taking over as captain. The Millies needed several late-game goals to salvage enough wins and ties to sneak ahead of the Bulldogs, who look like the league's strongest team (with a league-best +11 goal differential). I thought the Dogs would claim first place in the end, but the Millies' Mickey MacKay really elevated his play over the last few games and ended up winning the Scoring Championship (12 goals, 18 assists) for the second year in a row. MacKay also won the Forward MVP, edging out Bearcats superstar Joe Malone (last year's winner) and the Bulldogs' Jack Adams, who managed to rack up 22 points despite missing a decent chunk of the season due to injury. For the blueliners, stalwart veteran Hod Stuart captured his second Defenseman MVP trophy a full ten seasons after winning it for the first time; he delivered an impressive mix of offense and defense (7 goals, 11 assists, +8) to beat the Bulldogs' Moose Johnson (a league-leading +16) and defending trophy winner Harry Cameron of the Millies. Stuart's teammate Sprague Cleghorn won Rookie of the Year, becoming only the second blueliner ever to win that award. The season's most dominant performance, however, belonged to the Bulldogs' Hap Holmes, who claimed his third Goaltender MVP trophy after posting a 1.75 goals-against average and a .943 save percentage, which was the highest single-season save percentage in league history.
