Note:Due to multiple cancellations caused by weather and restrictions caused by a COVID-19 related shutdown the full schedule was not able to be completed and the standings ties were broken by points percentage and all teams as opposed to the customary top six teams qualify for the playoffs.
==Playoffs==
===Revised Format===
All teams qualify for the playoffs as opposed to the customary top six. The first round consist of a play-in game between the sixth and seventh place teams with the winner assuming the sixth seed. The quarterfinal round will be a best-of-three round as usual. The semifinal round will now be a best-of-three series as opposed to the customary best-of-five. The final is reduced to a single game. If UPEI reach the championship round the semifinal losers will meet in a single game to determine the conference's second qualifier for the 2022 University Cup which is being hosted by UPEI.https://www.atlanticuniversitysport.com/genrel/2022adjpostseason
