Schedule and playoffs

Expansion and relocation

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]
