I'm pretty sure RIT's Brick City Game is against Bowling Green.

Great info! I'm pretty sure the Lake Placid tournament will not be Merrimack because they are in the friendship four Thanksgiving weekend and I think lake placid is Thanksgiving weekend too unless its around new years weekend then it's possible Providence bailed and Merrimack took its place.

This also tells me that one of the lake placid games will be v SLU and a conference game since they have a max of 12 games.

I was told when I was there in December it would be Thanksgiving weekend and was told the dates November 29 & 30. Unless things have changed since then.

UMD will be at Lowell on October 11-12.

Providence is playing in the Lake Placid tourney. They are also in the Dartmouth Tourney and have home games with Colorado College (2), Arizona St. (2) and Brown to go along with the game at North Dakota.

Thanks! This gives us all of PC's non-conference schedule but they may have (1) more game scheduled if they take advantage of the HOF Game exemption.

Western Michigan has the GLI, as well as home-and-home series with Ferris State, Bowling Green, and... - rumor has it... Michigan!

Supposedly the NCHC conference schedule will be released next week

I wonder when the date of those games will be?

[Bronco Hockey Fan]

Ferris and Bowing Green should be the first two weeks after the pre-season exhibition. That's become a regular staple. Ferris is opening weekend for sure. I recall reading that that was a specific clause in the contract once they hooked up again after not playing each other the first couple years post-realignment.

I could actually see WMU pushing BGSU back a couple weeks in order to fit in with somebody else's slots, such as an ECAC team. But I doubt it. My guess is Michigan will probably be the week after the BGSU series (or two, depending on if Western takes a Bye week)

I'm curious who the last series is though. Personally, I'm hoping we can get a Hockey East team to come to Lawson for once. Our best chance at that is UMass or maybe Maine. Wishful thinking, for sure.
