The 1954–55 Chicago Black Hawks season was the team's twenty-ninth season in the NHL, and the team was coming off a miserable season in 1953–54, when they set the NHL record for losses in a season with 51, finishing in last place in the NHL, and missing the playoffs for the seventh time in eight seasons. In goal, Al Rollins played in 44 games, winning a club high 9 of them, while posting a GAA of 3.39. Backup goaltender Hank Bassen would post a record of 4–9–8, leading the club with a 3.00 GAA.
