The Falcons represented the United States Air Force Academy and were coached by Frank Serratore, in his 24th season.

The start of the college hockey season was delayed due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

Because the NCAA had previously announced that all winter sports athletes would retain whatever eligibility they possessed through at least the following year, none of Air Force's players would lose a season of play.

Near the end of the season Air Force's offense finally was able to cobble together a collection of goals that gave the team a three-game winning streak.

They entered the Atlantic Hockey Tournament hoping to continue their run, unfortunately, Bentley ended the Falcons' year with a 3–7 loss.
