The Connecticut Oilers won the tournament and advanced to the USA Hockey National Junior Tier III Championship. However, while USA Hockey was reviewing the players and teams for the national series, discrepancies were found in the paperwork of two Swedish players on the Oilers. As a result, the two players were ruled ineligible and the Northern Cyclones were instead awarded the league bid to the championship. Additionally, the Oilers were retroactively stripped of the league title and the EHL decided to leave the championship position as "vacant" for the season.
