The 2024–25 ECAC Hockey men's season was the 64th season of play for ECAC Hockey and took place during the 2024–25 NCAA Division I men's ice hockey season. The season began on October 4, 2024, and concluded on March 29, 2025 when Cornell lost in the NCAA tournament Toledo regional final.
Coaches.
At the conclusion of the previous season, Princeton announced that Ron Fogarty would not be returning as head coach. Soon thereafter, Cornell's associate had coach, Ben Syer, was named as the Tigers' 18th head coach.
Later in the offseason, Cornell head coach Mike Schafer announced that this would be his final season behind the bench. At the same time, Casey Jones, then the head coach for Clarkson, was announced as Schafer's successor and he joined the staff as an associate head coach.
Clarkson then announced that alumnus and former assistant coach, Jean-François Houle, would leave the Laval Rocket to take over at his alma mater.
Non-Conference record.
Overall, the ECAC had an average record against non-conference opponents. The conference as a whole was able to post a winning record against most other leagues, however, member teams suffered in the PairWise rankings due to from where the majority of their wins arose. Atlantic Hockey America had the worst record in non-conference play and provided little benefit to ECAC teams despite a stellar record. Conversely, the poor performance against Hockey East did not damage the ECAC prospects as much as it could have due to that league having the best non-conference record in the country. Because of this, the ECAC had several teams finish in the top half of the rankings but most fell just shy of the tournament cut line.
