[edit] Paths to the Final
As in 1922, the PCHA champion met the WCHL champion in a playoff, with the winner to meet the NHL champion in the Finals. That series was held in Vancouver, Calgary and Winnipeg. The NHL champion would have to play the loser to advance to the Finals. Montreal first played the Vancouver Maroons, defeating them 2–0 in a best-of-three to advance to the Finals.
[edit] The series
The first game was played in Montreal and the second game was played in Ottawa, to take advantage of artificial ice.
A rookie forward named Howie Morenz scored a hat-trick in game one and a further goal in game two to lead the Canadiens.

[edit] Stanley Cup engraving
Montreal Canadiens added a new ring to the bottom of the Stanley Cup. They engraved majority of their members on it. Each Stanley Cup winning team since 1924 has engraved majority of their winning members on the Stanley Cup. There is not enough room to include every member each year. Joe Malone, Charles Fortier were not included on the cup, even though there is room. Only Bobby Boucher, Ed Dulfour, Leo Danduran, and Cecil Hart have their full first name engraved on the cup. All other members had their first name shortened, Montreal also included the 3 teams they defeated in the playoffs Ottawa, Vancouver, Calgary two straight games.
- Mistake - Co-Owner Louis A. Letourneau was misspelled H.A. LETOURNEAU. This mistake was not corrected, but repeated in 1929–30. Louis Letourneau was the first person to have his name misspelled on the Stanley Cup.
