The Australian Ice Hockey League have released the schedule for the upcoming 2025 season. The regular season will start on 5 April and run through to 24 August, followed by the playoffs with the dates and format yet to be confirmed.
The total number of regular season games has been reduced from 150 to 112, following the withdrawal of the Sydney Bears and Sydney Ice Dogs, with each team playing 14 home and 14 away games. The conference system, which had been in place for the past two seasons, has been scrapped and replaced with a single ladder. Each team will meet their opponents in four games, two away and two at home.
