2021–22 EHL season

The 2021–22 EHL season was the 8th season of the Eastern Hockey League. The regular season ran from September 2021 to March 2022 with a planned 46-game schedule for all teams. The Boston Junior Rangers won the regular season championship. The New Jersey 87's defeated the Walpole Express 2 to 0 for the league championship.

• After the Keene Eclipse withdrew from the league in early November of the previous season, the EHL allowed the team to return for this year. In the interim, the team rebranded as the Maine Eclipse. Reportedly, just after the beginning of the season, USA Hockey permanently banned one of the Eclipse's coaches due him running an unsanctioned event over the summer. As a result, the team then forfeited two games in late September before being expelled from the league.^[1] The few games that Maine had played were wiped from league standings with the remaining schedules readjusted so that all teams played an even number of games.

The standings at the end of the regular season were as follows:^[2]

Note: At the time of Maine's expulsion, they possessed a record of 0–4. However, all games were subsequently erased from league standings.

The four teams that lost in the division finals played in two wild-card qualifiers to determine the final two round robin qualifiers. The final three rounds were held at the Schneider Arena in Providence, Rhode Island.
