2021-22 CCHA Season

The 2021–22 CCHA men's ice hockey season is the 43rd season of play for the Central Collegiate Hockey Association and is part of the 2021–22 NCAA Division I men's ice hockey season. The regular season began on October 2, 2021, and concluded on February 26, 2022. The conference tournament began on March 4 and ended on March 19, 2022.
==Revival==
On February 18, 2020, 7 schools that had previously announced their departure from the WCHA after the 2020–21 season in order to form a new conference officially announced that their new conference would be a reestablished CCHA. Bowling Green, which had been a founding member of the CCHA in 1971 and remained in the conference until its dissolution in 2013, had retained control of the name in the interim.
A year earlier, St. Thomas was involuntarily removed from the MIAC, which would take effect after the 2020–21 scholastic year. In July 2020 the NCAA gave permission for the university to promote its athletic programs from Division III directly to Division I without the normal waiting period or ineligibilities. Within two weeks time, St. Thomas applied for and was approved as the 8th member of the conference to begin play this season.
After the conclusion of the 2020–21 season, Alabama–Huntsville, another WCHA team, submitted a bid to be accepted as the conference's 9th member. On May 5, 2021, the CCHA rejected Alabama–Huntsville's inclusion.

==Coaches==
Enrico Blasi, formerly the head coach at Miami, was announced as St. Thomas' first head coach at the Division I level on April 2, 2021. At the start of his tenure with St. Thomas, Blasi is just 2 wins shy of 400 for his career.
On May 17, 2022 the conference announced the addition of the Augustana Vikings to the conference for the 2023-24 season. The team will play a reduced schedule for the 2023-24 and 2024-25 seasons with a full league schedule beginning with the 2025-26 season.https://www.uscho.com/2022/05/17/augustana-to-join-ccha-as-ninth-member-school-will-start-play-with-2023-24-season/
