The rotating wild-card moved to Canada West. Since host Alberta also won the league championship, the conference received a second wild-card bid. Canada West held a third-place series to determine the second wild-card entrant. The teams were ranked with preference given to avoiding intra-conference matches in pool play. The Bronze Medal game was discontinued.
