| Once again, a strong showing at the USA Hockey High School National Championships, establishes the Midwest High School Hockey League as one of the premier high school leagues in the country with combined school rosters. Four teams competed this season: Lincoln, Waterloo, Omaha and Sioux City. All four teams advanced to the quarterfinals. Omaha falls in the quarterfinals and Sioux City in the semifinals. After both teams lose their first game of the tournament, Lincoln and Waterloo bounce back to advance through the field of 16 teams to face off against each other in the championship game where Waterloo comes out on top 5-2, earning the League's fourth title in seven seasons. |
| The League switched its web-based scoring and statistics provider from Pointstreak to TeamLinkt. Pointstreak had been in use for 18 years since the 2006-07 season. The League also unveiled a new website within the TeamLinkt management system. |
| Boji Mammoths, out of the Iowa Lakes area, rejoins the League. The Mammoths entered the League during the 2019-20 season but then exited for the next four years to regroup. The team plays out of the Boji Bay Ice Arena in Spirit Lake, Iowa. |
