Northeastern Huskies men's ice hockey seasons
« 2020–21  »

The 2021–22 Northeastern Huskies Men's ice hockey season is the 90th season of play for the program. They represent Northeastern University in the 2021–22 NCAA Division I men's ice hockey season and for the 38th season in the Hockey East conference. The Huskies are coached by Jerry Keefe, in his first season, and play their home games at Matthews Arena.

Season[]

In the offseason, Northeaster reshuffled its athletic department with former hockey head coach Jim Madigan being promoted to Athletic Director an former assistant Jerry Keefe taking his place at the helm of the program.[1]

In February 2021, both the men's and women's programs were selected to participate in the 2021 Winter Universiade.[2] Concerns about COVID-19 caused postponements to be announced in August but new dates were set by November. By the end of the month, however, fears over the Omicron variant forced the Swiss government to introduce new travel restrictions which forced the cancellation of the games.[3]
