The Yellow Jackets were coached by Eric Lang, in his sixth season, and played their home games at MassMutual Center.

While they got solid, if unspectacular, goaltending from both grad transfer Alec Calvaruso and nominal starter Jake Kucharski, American International was let down by its offense.

The run shot the Yellow Jackets to the top of the Atlantic Hockey standings, where they remained for the rest of the year.

Despite missing the conference goaltending champion, American International had a capable backup in Calvaruso and he showed up during the playoffs.

It was, however, Blake Bennett who was the story for AIC; the junior forward scored recorded 10 points during their run, including a hat-trick in the semifinal against Mercyhurst, and was named Tournament MVP.
