Member changes
- On October 13, 2021, the USPHL approved the addition of the Bakersfield Roughnecks to the Premier Division as an expansion franchise.[1] Initial plans were for the team to be ready for the 2021-22 season, however, their founding was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. They would instead begin play this season.
- On March 11, the Columbia Infantry were announced as an expansion franchise for this season.[2]
- At the end of the month, the USPHL announced that they were removing the Philadelphia Hockey Club from all levels of the league.[3] The team would later join the Eastern Hockey League.
- On the same day, the USPHL replaced Philadelphia with an expansion team. The new club was the Idaho Falls Spud Kings and they would join with the other teams in the Mountain Division who were planning on a promotion to Tier II after this season.[4]
- One week later, on April 6, the USPHL added another team to the Premier Division in the form of the Battle Creek Kernals.[5]
- Two days later, the Nashville Spartans were also approved as an expansion franchise.[6]
- On May 5, 2022, the USPHL announced the addition of a further expansion team, the Minnesota Squatch.[7]
- On the same day, the USPHL added four teams (Bellingham Blazers, Rogue Valley Royals, Seattle Totems and Vernal Oilers) from the Western States Hockey League after that league's efforts at restarting post-COVID had failed.[8] Additionally, the Rock Springs Prospectors were added as an expansion team to the newly-created Northwest Division.
- During the summer, the USPHL removed the Jersey Whalers and Pittsburgh Vengeance from the league and both suspended operations. After the Lake Erie Bighorns failed to relocate to Jamestown, New York, that franchise also went dormant.
- The Rum River Mallards relocated and became the Isanti Outlaws while the Detriut Fighting Irish relocated and became the Chicago Crush.
- The Motor City Hockey Club rebranded as the Motor City Gamblers while the Provo Riverblades rebranded as the Provo Predators.
- Just prior to the season, the Midwest Blackbirds were removed from the league.[9]
- On October 8, 2022, the Wooster Oilers were unable to participate in a scheduled game and forfeited. Five days later, the league expelled the Oilers who promptly dissolved.
