2021-22 Atlantic Hockey Season

This is the 2021-22 Atlantic Hockey Conference season. This is the conference's 17th season under this name and the conference's 22nd season overall.

Membership Changes

 * The RIT Tigers return to play after opting out of playing during the 2020-21 season.


 * The Robert Morris Colonials program is put on a one year hiatus. The administration of the school originally announced plans to cancel the men's and women's ice hockey programs during the spring of 2021. After a severe backlash in the media and several lawsuits a fundraising campaign was launched to raise funds to stabilize both programs. The campaign would be a success but due to the time frame the teams would have to sit out the 2021-22 season.

Standings
