The division champions played a best-of-seven series for the Calder Cup.

Playoff seeds

After the 1981–82 AHL regular season, the top four teams from each division qualified for the playoffs. However, since the fifth-placed team of the Southern division (Adirondack) earned more points than the fourth-placed team in the Northern division (Springfield), Adirondack played in the Northern division portion of the bracket in place of Springfield. The New Brunswick Hawks finished the regular season with the best overall record.[3]

Northern Division

  1. New Brunswick Hawks - 107 points
  2. Maine Mariners - 101 points
  3. Nova Scotia Voyageurs - 80 points

Southern Division

  1. Binghamton Whalers - 98 points
  2. Rochester Americans - 89 points
  3. New Haven Nighthawks - 86 points
  4. Hershey Bears - 78 points
  5. Adirondack Red Wings - 77 points (Played in the Northern division part of the bracket in place of Springfield due to earning more points during the regular season.)

In each round, the team that earned more points during the regular season receives home ice advantage, meaning they receive the "extra" game on home-ice if the series reaches the maximum number of games. There is no set series format due to arena scheduling conflicts and travel considerations.[4]
