The Connecticut State League dropped down to six teams for the 1941-42 season. The Danbury Gaels, New Britain Emeralds and Willimantic Aces dropped, and the Newfields relocated from Norwalk to Bridgeport, giving Bridgeport two teams representing the city.
For the first time, the league abandoned its old system of splitting the season into two halves and just would run with each team playing a 20-game schedule with the top four teams playing in a playoff to determine the winner of the President's trophy. Barely a week into the season, the U.S. was drawn into World War 2 and the season carried that heavy load as it progressed.
There wound up being a great divide between the top four and bottom two clubs. Waterbury and the Newfields finished in 5th and 6th, respectively, and well out of the playoff hunt. New London fought their way through to repeat as champions.
- Bridgeport Newfields
- Bridgeport Springwoods
- Hartford Gems
- New London Electric Boats
