2nd Half: 4-4, .500, t-4th place

Championship: Lost to Danbury, 3-1

One of the more well-known independent teams in Connecticut, West Haven did exactly what was expected of them: they ran the table in the first half, with Freddie Ferrie leading the way. In the second half, though they ran into trouble and would split their games. Having won the first half title, they clashed with the Danbury Guards for the President's Cup, but would lose in the best-of-five series in four games.
