The United States Amateur Hockey Association, which had operated since the end of World War I, struggled through several years and finally dissolved in 1925.
Marie had a higher operating cost just with the travel times and the team got into financial difficulties before season's end.
Marie suspended operations with 6 games left on their schedule, leaving the league as a 5-team circuit.
Minneapolis, who had played its full schedule, had the best record at the end of the season.
After the season, four of the remaining teams decided to switch from amateur to professional hockey and dissolved the league.
