      This was a few weeks back, but it was explained to me that the overall league schedule had to wait for scheduling in the arenas shared with AHL teams to be worked out.

          I would be very interested to see each AHC team's strength of league-schedule stats since we moved to an unbalanced scheduling format. It seems like every year we're playing Air Force, Robert Morris, and a couple of other top teams four times while seeing AIC and Sacred Heart and lower-seeded teams twice.

          Also interesting that we're starting the regular season right off with homecoming.

            The year before last, you only had two games with USAFA and RMU. And last year, only two with MU and CHC. My hypothesis is the league wants each team to play each other an even number of times over a certain number of years.

              When I have more time I will disprove that hypothesis. =)

                I had some more time (actually started this the other day). Starting with 2014-2015 when UConn left for Hockey East and not including 17-18 because I don't have enough information on the other teams yet, we've played Bentley, Niagara and Robert Morris 10 times each - 2 seasons with 4 games, 1 season with 2 games (counting regular season only, of course). We've played Army 6 times (2 per season). We've played the other teams 8 times each.

                Here is a list of the teams we played 4 times each year:
                2014-2015: Holy Cross, Niagara, Robert Morris, Sacred Heart
                2015-2016: AIC, Bentley, Mercyhurst, Niagara
                2016-2017: Air Force, Bentley, Canisius, Robert Morris

                Here are the teams each time has played 10 times (and 6 times) in the regular season, which shows how often they get teams 4 times/year.
                Air Force - Canisius, Niagara, Robert Morris (Mercyhurst 6 times)
                AIC - Army, Canisius, Holy Cross, Niagara (Sacred Heart and Mercyhurst 6 each)
                Army - AIC, Bentley, Canisius, Mercyhurst (Niagara and RIT 6x)
                Bentley - Army, Mercyhurst, RIT, Sacred Heart (Canisius and Niagara 6x)
                Canisius - Air Force, AIC, Army (Bentley 6x)
                Holy Cross - AIC, Niagara, Sacred Heart (Robert Morris)
                Mercyhust - Army, Bentley, Niagara, Sacred Heart (Air Force, AIC)
                Niagara - Air Force, AIC, Holy Cross, Mercyhurst, RIT (Army, Bentley, Sacred Heart)
                RIT - Bentley, Niagara, Robert Morris (Army)
                Robert Morris - Air Force, RIT, Sacred Heart (Holy Cross)
                Sacred Heart - Bentley, Holy Cross, Mercyhurst, Robert Morris (AIC, Niagara)

                It's interesting to me that Niagara is the most "unbalanced", with 5 teams they have played 10 times each, and 3 teams they have only played 6 times. Everyone else is 4x10 and 2x6, or 3x10 and 1x6.

                  I've been looking for patterns myself to try to predict who the conference opponents will be. Each team has ten opponents: four played four times, six played twice. In fairness to all parties, every five years you would see an opponent four times twice on average. Taking a further look, I wonder how much the "cost containment" wishes of the eastern AHC teams are coming into play. IIRC, there was some contingency surrounding Air Force entering the conference after leaving CHA.

                    Same date as last year. Sad that there are no games in the greater New England area

                      Can't we all just get along?
                      Always remember... This is just a game we're talking about here. Let's not take it all too seriously.

                        So many hockey schools within an hour drive from home, just wish they would stretch the trips a little farther east. I've done HC before, cost me two nights in a hotel, dinner at the worst House of Pizza and a couple hundred at Mohegan Sun that weekend. Tigers dropped two as well that weekend.

                          RIT only has six non-conference games. They are playing all three NC road games in New England. There are five teams in the league in that region and RIT will play either two or three of them each season. There really is not much more they can do unless they give up home games.

                            A little farther east than Providence? Where do you live, in the Atlantic Ocean?

                                Yes, I've done the drive many times but mother nature has a funny way of dropping a ton of snow on game days making the drive just a bit slippery. Add m******* drivers and you got a pretty bad mix. I know, third world problems but I'll try to do better! 😁
