Offseason

Tommy Gorman left the Americans for a position in managing the Agua Caliente Racetrack. Lionel Conacher became the playing-coach and general manager.

Regular season

The season started poorly for the Amerks, winning only two games by Christmas, and by then out of the playoff race and ten games under .500. The team only won back-to-back games three times and the highlight was a modest three-game win streak in March. The team would finish eleven games under .500 for the season.
