Atlantic Hockey has announced the members of the 2020-21 all-conference and all-rookie teams.

Due to the nature of the season, where the league was split into east and west pods, the AHA felt the only way to do awards this year was within the pods.

Even though Air Force was placed in the east pod for the playoffs, the Falcons played all but one team in the west and therefore, the coaching staffs from both Air Force and the rest of the west teams were more equipped to assess the performance and vote accordingly, according to an Atlantic Hockey press release.
