The Yellow Jackets represented American International College and were coached by Eric Lang, in his 2nd season.

However, in mid-November, after making freshman Stefano Durante the starting goaltender, AIC began to improve.

While the offense was never strong, it was serviceable for much of the year and an improved defensive effort allowed the Yellow Jackets to start winning game more often.

While they got a fight from Niagara, the Yellow Jackets won both games to win a postseason series for the first time in eleven years.

The sizable improvement for the team was spearheaded by the addition of Brennan Kapcheck and Stefano Durante, two freshman that the program would conceivably be able to build around for the near future.
