All Quarterfinals matchups were held at home team venues, while all succeeding games were played in Schenectady, New York.
At the conclusion of the regular season the top 8 teams, regardless of their conference, were invited to play in the WIHA tournament.
As a result of both the MIAC and NCHA beginning conference playoffs the following year the WIHA was dissolved.
No formal seeding was used while quarterfinal matches were arranged so that the road teams would have the shortest possible travel distances.
In the Quarterfinals, teams played two-game aggregate series to determine which school advanced to the semifinals.
