The North Peace Navigators finished three points behind the Huskies in the NWJHL regular season standings but ended up in 6th in Alberta.

Finally, the Dawson Creek Jr. Canucks struggled in their final three games of the year, and as a result, they dropped four spots in the rankings, down into a tie for 11th.
