The 1971–72 English Hockey League season took place from September 1971 until April 1972.
The principal event was the inaugural Men's Cup (National Clubs Championship) which was won by Hounslow.[1][2]
The vast majority of the season consisted of regional leagues. The first National League tournament (The National Inter League Championship) would not be introduced until September 1975.
