USHL seasons

The 2021–22 USHL season was the 43rd season of the United States Hockey League as an all-junior league.

The Cedar Rapids RoughRiders and Madison Capitols returned from their hiatus for this season. The RoughRiders' absence was due to derecho damage to ImOn Ice Arena, while the Capitols was caused by COVID-19 pandemic restrictions in Madison, Wisconsin.[1]

The regular season ran from September 23, 2021, to April 23, 2022, with a 62-game schedule for each team.[2] The Western Conference champions Tri-City Storm were awarded the Anderson Cup for accumulating 98 points. The Western Conference runners-up Sioux City Musketeers won the Clark Cup playoff championship.[3]
