Why did Bellingham, Chilliwack and Vernon not play the last games? Early in the season Bellingham did not have any home ice to play on so, many games were cancelled. When ice for Bellingham was available there was a fleury of make-up games late in the season with Bellingham picking up the costs of the visiting teams. So, because the last few games were would make no diference in the standings they were no played.
