The 1924–25 Hamilton Tigers season was the fifth and last season of the Tigers. The club won the regular season but did not play in the playoffs as the players went on strike for increased pay. NHL president Frank Calder suspended the team. In the off-season, the assets of the Tigers were sold to form the new New York Americans expansion team.

Offseason

The league added two new expansion teams: the Boston Bruins and the Montreal Maroons. The Bruins became the first American-based team in the NHL.

Jimmy Gardner was named coach of the team.
