The 2021–22 AHL season was the 86th season of the American Hockey League. The regular season began on October 15, 2021, and ended on April 30, 2022. The regular season was followed by the Calder Cup playoffs, which had not been held since 2019 due to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. The playoffs began on May 2, 2022, and ended on June 25, 2022, with the Chicago Wolves winning their third Calder Cup.
League changes
Due to the then-ongoing COVID-19 pandemic during the previous season, the league had a temporary alignment consisting of five divisions. The league's Canada-based teams only played intradivisional games and could not cross the international border due to pandemic travel restrictions. The league expected to return to a normal schedule and with an updated alignment following team relocations, teams returning, and the lightening of pandemic restrictions.{{Cite web |url=https://www.oursportscentral.com/services/releases/american-hockey-league-announces-plans-for-2021-playoffs-sets-calendar-for-2021-22/n-5685353 |title=American Hockey League Announces Plans for 2021 Playoffs, Sets Calendar for 2021-22 |website=OurSports Central |date=April 29, 2021}} The new alignment was announced on June 7, 2021, returning to the previous four divisions used in 2019–20 with the exception of the Abbotsford Canucks and the Henderson Silver Knights joining the Pacific Division, increasing it to nine teams, while the Binghamton Devils and the former San Antonio Rampage were removed from the North and Central Divisions, respectively, decreasing each to seven teams.{{cite web |url=https://www.oursportscentral.com/services/releases/ahl-board-of-governors-approves-plan-for-schedule-unification/n-5702457 |title=AHL Board of Governors Approves Plan for Schedule Unification |website=OurSports Central |date=June 7, 2021}}
As part of the alignment, the league would continue to have an imbalanced schedule with each team either playing 76, 72, or 68 games during the regular season. The Macgregor Kilpatrick Trophy for the regular season champion was still awarded based on points percentage. The league planned for this to be the last season with the imbalanced scheduling with the expectation that all teams will play a 72-game schedule in 2022–23.
On October 11, 2021, the league announced it had added female officials, seven referees and three linespeople, to its officiating crew for the first time.{{Cite web |url=https://theahl.com/ahl-staff-female-officials |title=2021-22 AHL officiating staff includes 10 female officials |website=theahl.com |date=October 11, 2021}}{{Cite web |url=https://www.usnews.com/news/sports/articles/2021-10-11/american-hockey-league-to-have-10-female-officials-this-year |title=American Hockey League to Have 10 Female Officials This Year |website=U.S. News & World Report |date=October 11, 2021}}{{cite news |last1=Anderson |first1=Gordon |title=The pioneering kind: Brandy Dewar-Beecroft the first woman to officiate a NOJHL game |url=https://www.saultstar.com/sports/the-pioneering-kind-brandy-dewar-beecroft-the-first-woman-to-officiate-a-nojhl-game |access-date=20 January 2025 |work=saultstar.com |publisher=Postmedia |date=7 March 2022 |language=en-CA}}
On January 1, 2022, the league announced it had extended the regular season by six days, from ending on April 24 to ending April 30, citing COVID-related game postponements.{{Cite web |url=https://theahl.com/regular-season-calendar-extended-to-april-30 |title=Regular-season calendar extended to April 30 |website=theahl.com |date=January 1, 2022}}
=Team and NHL affiliation changes=
The league returned to 31 active teams with the Charlotte Checkers, Milwaukee Admirals, and Springfield Thunderbirds returning from a pandemic-related hiatus.
- The Binghamton Devils' franchise was relocated to Utica, New York, as the Utica Comets.{{cite web |url=https://www.oursportscentral.com/services/releases/ahl-board-of-governors-approves-two-franchise-relocations-for-2021-22/n-5688107 |title=AHL Board of Governors Approves Two Franchise Relocations for 2021-22 |website=OurSports Central |date=May 6, 2021}} The Comets adopted a color scheme of red, black, and white, to match the colors of the Devils.
- The Bridgeport Sound Tigers were rebranded as the Bridgeport Islanders by their parent club, the New York Islanders.{{cite web |url=https://www.ctpost.com/sports/article/Sound-Tigers-to-rebrand-as-Bridgeport-16165607.php |title=Sound Tigers rebrand as 'Bridgeport Islanders' |website=Connecticut Post |date=May 10, 2021}}
- The franchise that was operating as the Utica Comets, and owned by the Vancouver Canucks, was relocated to Abbotsford, British Columbia, as the Abbotsford Canucks.
==Affiliation changes==
Due to the three teams returning from their pandemic hiatus, the temporary secondary NHL affiliations from the previous season ended. However, the addition of a 32nd NHL team in Seattle added one dual affiliation.

Calder Cup playoffs
{{main|2022 Calder Cup playoffs}}
=Playoff format=
Following two seasons of not awarding the Calder Cup due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2022 Calder Cup playoffs format was completely revamped from the previous version format of the 2019 playoffs by expanding from 16 teams to 23 teams that qualify for the postseason. During the regular season, teams receive two points for a win and one point for an overtime or shootout loss with teams in each division ranked by points percentage (points earned divided by points available). At the conclusion of the regular season, all but the bottom two teams in each division qualify for the playoffs: six in the Atlantic, five in the North, five in the Central, and seven in the Pacific.{{cite web |url=https://www.oursportscentral.com/services/releases/format-approved-for-ahls-2022-calder-cup-playoffs/n-5729574 |title=Format Approved for AHL's 2022 Calder Cup Playoffs |website=OurSports Central |date=August 5, 2021}} The first round is organized so that four teams per division remain to play in the divisional semifinals.
The 2022 playoffs continued to feature a divisional playoff format, leading to the conference finals and ultimately the Calder Cup finals. The first round was a best-of-three series, followed by division semifinals and finals as best-of-five series, and the conference finals and Calder Cup finals were a best-of-seven. The top two teams in the Atlantic, top three teams in each of the North and Central, and the first-place team in the Pacific Division received byes into the division semifinals.
