2021-22 IJHL season

This is the 2021-22 Island Junior Hockey League season This is the league's 25th season.

For the past few seasons the league is played a limited cross over schedule with the Junior B teams in the New Brunswick Junior Hockey League. The teams play a home and a road game against each team during the course of the season. These games count in the standings for both leagues.

Racist Incident
A December 17th game between the Kensington Vipers and Sherwood Metros makes national news when a player on the Vipers allegedly made an anti-Asian comment to an Asian ancestry player on the Metros. In the aftermath of the incident a player of the Metros (Keegan Mitchell) confronted the player that made the comment and ended up slashing the player earning a two game suspension. A hearing was held and the offending player was then suspended two games for the comment. Keegan posted on social media that the suspension length was inappropriate for the offence and he felt should have been much longer. As a result of the comments Keegan was suspended indefinitely by Hockey PEI for "violating the league’s social media policy by publicly criticizing officials and Hockey P.E.I. and making reference to a player on the rival Kensington Vipers." Keegan then issued a post stating that he did the right thing in standing up for his teammate. Later in the month the American Hockey League issued a 30 game suspension for a racial gesture.
