1954-55 LEAHA Season

The 1954-55 LEAHA Season was the 9th season of operation of the Lake Erie Amateur Hockey Association. 16 teams competed in a 40-game regular season. The regular season began on October 4, 1954 and ended on January 1, 1955. The Donahey Cup Playoffs began on January 7, 1955 and the Donahey Cup Finals concluded on January 18, 1955 with the Mansfield Railriders winning their second Donahey Cup over the Warren Electrics in 2 games.

The 1954-55 season was the first season to include expansion clubs. The LEAHA introcued teams to Canton, Euclid, Marion, Massillon, Parma, and Youngstown. The now 16-team league was divided into two divisions, the North Division and South Division. The top two teams in each division made the playoffs and were seeded by win total and disregarded opening round divisional matchups. This would be the only year that playoff system was used as the next season paired opening round matchups by division, having the winner of the North and South Divisions face-off in the Donahey Cup Finals.
