Los Angeles had a second team with Vancouver, Seattle, Portland, and San Francisco in the Pacific Coast Hockey League.
The Los Angeles Ramblers' executive came up with the George Montgomery-Dinah Shore Cup, a trophy donated by a pair from Hollywood.
With place to practice, and the hockey season soon to open, the Dynamiters were forced to set up camp in Nelson for a week; this turned out to be a costly project.
The Dynamiters showed plenty of scoring punch, and ended the regular season with 203 goals while holding the opposition to 112, thanks to the goalkeeping of Arthur "Jakie" Nash, and Sammy Quigley.
At the front, they had Joe Levine, Benny Hayes, Max Labovich, Kenny Stewart, Jack Miller, Hassie Young, Terry Cavanaugh, and Jim Fleming.
Duke Scodellaro and Bill Waddell guarded the Smokies' net, with Les Christensen, Sandy Shearer, Jimmy Anderson, and Norm DePaolis looking after the blueline duties.
The rest of the team were Ab Cronie, Mike Buckna, Emil Kwasney, Ken Stanton, Ron Gardner, Dave Nicol, Bob "Zeke" Clements, Gordie Robertson, and Hedley Marshall.
The Kimberley team received a bye into the WIHL finals, by virtue of winning the league regular season; and locked horns with the Nelson Maple Leafs for the Savage Cup.
The Dynamiters, paced by the two-goal efforts of Frank "Sully" Sullivan and Sammy Calles, trounced the Leafs 7-3 in the opening game of the finals in Kimberley; before 2,200 fans.
The Dynamiters had to do it the hard way, with half of their team being injured or ill. Sammy Calles, Lloyd "Sandy" Sanderson, and Gordie Wilson were sidelined with the flu.
Harry Brown played with a cast on, due to a broken wrist; and Sully Sullivan had a foot injury, with Jack Forsey working under a distinct handicap being banged twice on the same ankle.
Jack Forsey, Buck Kavanaugh, and Bill Jones scored one goal each for the Dynamiters, all coming in the second period; and Jakie Nash kept the pressing Leafs at bay in the third frame.
