The 1994–95 QMJHL season was the 26th season in the history of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League. The season also marked the first expansion by the QMHL into Atlantic Canada, with the addition of the Halifax Mooseheads.
Several of the league's trophies are renamed, as corporate sponsorships expire. The Shell Cups are renamed the Ford Cups, one each for the offensive and defensive players of the year. The Transamerica Plaque is renamed the AutoPro Plaque, and the Molson Cup is renamed the New Faces Cup.
Thirteen teams played 72 games each in the schedule. The Laval Titan Collège Français finished first overall in the regular season, for their second consecutive Jean Rougeau Trophy, and made their third consecutive appearance in the finals. The Hull Olympiques won their third President's Cup, defeating Laval 4 games to 1.
Team changes[]
- The Halifax Mooseheads joined the league as an expansion franchise, playing in the Dilio Division.
- Verdun Collège Français ceased operations. The Collège Français transfers its sponsorship to the Laval Titan.
