| Sioux Falls exits the League after two seasons. |
| In January 2011, the ice-making equipment at Pepsi Ice Midwest in Overland Park, Kansas - home of the Kansas City Stars - failed. The owners chose not to replace the system and discontinued ice operations at the facility. As a result, the Stars and the Kansas City Jr. Outlaws merged to form the Kansas City Jets, relocating to the newly remodeled Kansas City Ice Center in Shawnee, Kansas. Ice Midwest has setback PDF (Kansas City Star - Saturday, January 22, 2011) |
| The League's 12 teams are divided into East and West divisions playing a 32-game schedule. Teams in the same division play each other 4 times, teams in opposite divisions play each other twice. |
| The League adopts a new Varsity regular-season overtime format: 1. 4-on-4, 5-minute sudden-death overtime, 2. 3-player shootout, 3. sudden-death shootout. |
| Waterloo finshes the regular season in first place and represents the League at the USA Hockey High School National Championships in Salt Lake City, UT, March 21-25. Waterloo advances to the championship game falling to Regis Jesuit of Colorado, 4-3. |
| A prorated protected list is implemented based on team enrollment. |
