Notes:
  1. ^ Final standings available on May 30. Some teams played one or two games over the following two weekends. Those results are reflected in these standings.
  2. ^ The final reported goals against for the Scandinavians is 10 goals too low. The error was made in the standings after their tenth game and was continued in the standings after that. This number corrects that error.[7][8]
  3. ^ Pawtucket only played five games in the first half of the season. They dropped out of the league during the winter break.[9]
