The 13th season of the ECHL was played in 2000–01. Before the season, the league lost three members as the Huntington Blizzard and the Jacksonville Lizard Kings ceased operations and the powerhouse Hampton Roads Admirals were replaced by the Norfolk Admirals in the American Hockey League. The league also decided to expand the regular season to 72 games. The Trenton Titans finished first overall in the regular season, and the South Carolina Stingrays won their second Kelly Cup defeating the Trenton Titans four games to one.

Wild Card
NOTE: These series are two-game series; if the series is tied at one game each, the two teams immediately played a 10-minute period to determine the team that advances to the quarterfinals. If the ten-minute period ends in a tie, sudden death overtime would be played as if it was a standard playoff game.
