Story:

1973-74 season came in strong in a big way all eight teams played very well, and a lot of scouts from the pro hockey leagues are keeping their eyes on the Cougars rookie forward Cliff Burns, a Brooks Alberta native who scored 22 goals, 61 points in 40 games including his 8 points performance on February 24, 1974, as the Cougars blew the Hawks out of the water with a 10-2 win in Lethbridge.

On March 2, 1974, the WCLH announced that Moose Jaw Saskatchewan and Kenora Ontario are the new expansion teams for the 1974-75 season. The names for both new teams will announce during the 1974 Valor Cup tournament.

Just like last year, all eight teams will be in the playoffs.

The Greyhounds made a significant improvement from last year, placing in 2nd place and went all the way to the Jade Trophy finals.

Despite a big improvement, the Greyhounds were 2 wins short as the Brandon Buffalos took the series and the Jade Trophy championship 3 to 1.
