McLennan 10–3. Grande Prairie continued their winning trend on March 20 outscoring the Eagles 6–5. Play returned to McLennan
on March 22 with the Eagles facing elimination. They managed to beat the Athletics by a score of 3–2 to force game five. Game five
was played in Grande Prairie on March 24. The game wrapped up the season for the NPHL with the Athletics winning by a margin of 6–3.
