President and GM James Strachan stepped down from the roles he'd performed since his creation of the franchise. Tommy Gorman replaced him as GM and also let go the only coach the Maroons had since their founding, Eddie Gerard, and took over his role as well.
The Maroons held their training camp in Winnipeg, Manitoba. They played a series of exhibition games against the New York Rangers, who were also training in Winnipeg.

This was the first all-Canadian Final since the Maroons defeated the Victoria Cougars in the 1926 Stanley Cup Finals. Maroons goaltender Alex Connell allowed just four goals in the three games. Dave Trottier was the overtime hero in Game 1 while Baldy Northcott scored the Cup winning goal and led all playoff scorers with 5 points.
Maroons manager-coach Tommy Gorman became the only coach to win successive Stanley Cup titles with two different teams after winning with the Chicago Black Hawks in the 1934 Final.
