At the semi-annual meeting in January 1955, the CAHA discussed cost-cutting measures when its budget was reduced from $70,000 to $55,000. Dunn extended another invitation to the Japan Ice Hockey Federation to send a team on an exhibition tour of Canada after a planned tour in 1955 failed due to lack of funding. The CAHA felt it had to send the most competitive team possible to the 1955 World Championships, and spared no expense in selecting the Penticton Vees since regaining the World Championships title was a matter of national pride. The CAHA lost $5,000 in sending the team to the 1955 World Championships, but Penticton regained the title for Canada with a 5–0 victory over the Soviet Union in the decisive game.
