• A year after moving to Hamden, Connecticut, the Connecticut Oilers were purchased by the Connecticut Chiefs youth organization.^[3] The club then rebranded to match their new situation.

• Over the summer, the North Carolina Golden Bears and Team Maryland were approved as expansion franchises for this season.

• In addition, the New Jersey 87's, an extant team in the EHL's Premier Division, founded a second franchise and began operating clubs in both the EHL and EHL Premier Divisions.

• The Lehigh Valley Jr. Rebels, who had previously operated a franchise in the Elite Division, were also approved as an expansion franchise. In December, the Jr. Rebels were expelled from the league when they were discovered to be using an over-aged player. The player in question was reportedly 22 years old (junior ice hockey is restricted to players between the ages of 16 and 20) and used both a fake name and ID in order to register with USA Hockey.^[4] At the time the team had a record of 0–9–1, however, all of the games were immediately voided and removed from the league standings.
