At the start of the 1922-23 season, PCHA and WCHL agreed to have an interlocking regular season schedule, and PCHA dropped the Rover position. The alternating games in the finals with or without the rover position was not necessary anymore. All Stanley Cup playoff games since have been played with 6 players on each side.
