Team changes[]
- The Hershey Bears, based in Hershey, Pennsylvania, transfer from the Eastern Amateur Hockey League to the I-AHL as an expansion team, playing in the West Division. The Bears have been in the I-AHL/AHL ever since, without relocating or renaming, and are currently the oldest team in the league to do so.
