First, as Canada West was hosting the tournament, two teams from the conference would receive bids and both were advanced into the semifinal round in opposite brackets. The OUAA took Canada West's place in the western regional, however, only one team from the non-hosting conferences was invited to participate. Due to this, the regional semifinals were eliminated. Additionally, the Championship first round was dispensed with, meaning that the winners of the regional finals would advance directly to the national semifinal. The regional rounds were played as best of three series while the national semifinals were set as two-game total-goal series. The championship game remained a single elimination match. West regional games were played in Winnipeg, Manitoba. East regional games were played at the Saint Mary's University Alumni Arena in Halifax, Nova Scotia.
