The 2024–25 Atlantic Hockey America men's season is the inaugural season of play for Atlantic Hockey America and take place during the 2024–25 NCAA Division I men's ice hockey season. The season began on October 4, 2024.

This is the only Atlantic Hockey America season, and last Division I season, for American International, which had been a member of AHA's men's predecessor of the Atlantic Hockey Association for that league's entire existence. On November 11, 2024, American International College announced that its men's hockey team would join the bulk of AIC's other sports in the Northeast-10 Conference, which plays the sport under NCAA Division II regulations and does not participate in the Division I championship.^[1]

Offseason

After the conclusion of the previous season, the men's Atlantic Hockey Association and women's College Hockey America merged to form Atlantic Hockey America. The amalgamation did not change the new league's arrangement as the same number of teams were on the men's side. The standings, conference schedules, and tournament all continued without alteration.

Coaches

Brian Riley announced prior to the season that he would retire after this campaign.^[2]
