However, it was possible for the fifth-placed team in the West Division to take the spot of the fourth-placed team in the North Division if they earned more points, since the North Division had one fewer team. This did not occur as the Grand Rapids Griffins, the fourth-placed team in the North Division finished with 85 points while the Peoria Rivermen, the fifth-placed team in the West Division, finished with 84 points. The Hershey Bears were the Eastern Conference regular season champions as well as the Macgregor Kilpatrick Trophy winners with the best overall regular season record. The Omaha Ak-Sar-Ben Knights were the Western Conference regular season champions.2006-07 AHL Standings https://web.archive.org/web/20070927190717/http://stats.theahl.com/stats/statdisplay.php?type=standings&subType=0&season_id=8&league_id=4&lastActive= 2007-09-27 theahl.com.
