Regular season record

While Atlanit Hockey had four teams posting .500 or better records in non-conference games, any benefit they received was wiped out by the five teams that were .250 or worse. As a whole, the conference performed well against Hockey East, which was one of the two best leagues during the regular season. This, and the collapse of the CCHA, helped move Atlantic Hockey up for the first time in years and the conference did not finish as the lowest-ranked league in Division I hockey.[4]
