This is what is hoped to be the 2021–22 Asia League Ice Hockey season.

Season delayed[]

On 6 June 2021 the league issued the following release:

Considering the pandemic of the COVID-19, Asia League Ice Hockey pursued any possibilities to hold the 2021-2022 season from September. However, the Asia League Executive Committee has passed the resolution that we do not hold the season with the full package, in light of the failure to meet the following key criteria:
  • Restrictions on international travel among the three countries is lifted.
  • The quarantine regulation in each country is lifted.
  • It is able that the sports event is conducted using the arena in each host city.
From now on, we will consider holding the season from December 2021, and we will announce the result of the consideration by the end of August.[1]

An updated statement was issued on 2 September the season would be cancelled as none of the restrictions had been lifted.[2]
