The 1974–75 New England Whalers season was the Whalers' third season of play. It was also the first season the franchise played away from Boston, Massachusetts on a fulltime basis. They played the first thirteen home games in West Springfield, Massachusetts at the Eastern States Coliseum before the team moved to the newly-opened Hartford Civic Center in Hartford, Connecticut. Ryan was replaced by Kelley before the 1975 WHA playoffs started; the Whalers lost to the Minnesota Fighting Saints in the WHA Quarterfinals in six games.
