1948–49 WIHL season

The league champion Spokane Flyers went on to face the Windsor Spitfires in a best-of-seven series for the national amateur hockey title.

Note: Spokane Flyers were not eligible for the Allan Cup so the Kimberley Dynamiters advanced to the final.

The Spokane Flyers did advance to the 1948-49 United States National Senior Championship.

Best of 5 Trail Smoke Eaters beat Nelson Maple Leafs 3 wins to 2.

This was the only senior league in the province so the Trail Smoke Eaters advanced to the 1948-49 Western Canada Allan Cup Playoffs.
