Finals champions Oshawa Generals

The 2014–15 OHL season was the 35th season of the Ontario Hockey League, in which twenty teams played 68 games each according to the regular season schedule, from September 24, 2014 to March 22, 2015. The Niagara IceDogs began play at their new arena, the Meridian Centre. The Ottawa 67's returned to TD Place Arena after a two-year hiatus due to a renovation. Brian Kilrea returned to coach the Ottawa 67's for one game on October 17, becoming the oldest coach in league history.

The Oshawa Generals won the J. Ross Robertson Cup for the 13th time in franchise history, as they defeated the Erie Otters in five games in the final round of the playoffs. The Generals qualified for the 2015 Memorial Cup held at Colisée Pepsi in Quebec City. Oshawa defeated the Kelowna Rockets 2–1 in overtime in the final game, winning the Memorial Cup for the fifth time in franchise history.

Near the end of the regular season, the Plymouth Whalers were sold, and the franchise moved to Flint, Michigan, becoming the Flint Firebirds. Also near the end of the regular season, the Belleville Bulls were sold and the franchise moved to Hamilton, Ontario, becoming the Hamilton Bulldogs.
