The1975–76 New England Whalers season was the Whalers' fourth season of play in theWorld Hockey Association. On December 26, 1975,Jack Kelley resigned as general manager/coach to the acceptance of general partnerHoward Baldwin. He was replaced on an interim basis byDon Blackburn. He won his first game on December 26th by a score of 4–3 over theCincinnati Stingers before hitting a slump that saw him go 14–18–3; he resigned from his position on March 11 (with just twelve games remaining) which saw him replaced byHarry Neale, who had been coaching theMinnesota Fighting Saints before the team went under.[1][2][3] The Whalers once again made theplayoffs and reached the WHA Semifinals with the two-time defending championHouston Aeros. The Whalers forced Game 7 but lost to the Aeros 2–0 to end their season.
