The 1928–29 AHA season was the third season for the American Hockey Association.
Schedule and playoffs
All six teams played their conference opponents 8 times each.
Expansion and relocation
Due in large part to their distance from the other league members, W. J. Holmes sold the Winnipeg Maroons to Patrick brothers who then moved the team to St. Louis.[1] Continuing the league's movement southward, the AHA placed its first expansion franchise in Tulsa, Oklahoma, hoping to take advantage of the soon-to-be-completed Tulsa Coliseum.[2]
