Not announced yet. Only one I am aware of is 10/9 - 10/10 at Mankato and that's because Mankato released that. BigTen alwasy slowest in releasing schedule.

Bruno is also type of player who could play net front on the power play with Tassy gone, provided he’s put on some muscle. He's pretty nifty down low and will make some good plays.
I’m still very high on him, I think he just needed (and may still need) some time to get bigger and stronger. He only spent half a season in the USHL too after coming in from Europe. More work this summer with Ottawa should also help

Front loaded schedule this year. Hopefully they can get a non conference series in 2027 where they have two bye weeks (Jan 14-17 and Feb 25-28).

Non-conference not included yet, but other Big7 teams released full schedules.

The Badgers look to continue the momentum of their run to the NCAA championship game in Las Vegas this past season.

Is it just me, or do these schedules just stink?! I really do not like having conference games in October, or even Nov for that matter. Why can Basketball front load all their Non-Conf games at the beginning of the season, but it's just simply lost on hockey? The heart of hockey is Jan, Feb, Mar....let's act like it and make everyone run through the gauntlet.Front loaded schedule this year.

This off-season, from a player front...I do love how, objectively speaking, we came well out on top in terms of the portal AND it's been super quiet on the player front. I feel like that's the type of steely eyed resolve that's needed. I'm extremely encouraged by it. Like the opeining credits in Terminator 2...the flames and the T-1000 head...dun dun dun, dun dun...dun dun dun, dun dun....
Also, with Peruzzi as the new assistant. Northeast D1 coaching, successful USHL background, and from Rochester Hills, MI....right on the back doorstep of the USNDT in Plymouth, MI. I think that's pretty darn important in terms of looking at kids in the Detroit area and being able to compete with the Weasels and Sparty for recruits in the greater Detroit area.

I had missed it from over a month ago, but Zajic signed with Youngstown with the USHL and will play next season there. Good landing spot, they churn out some good players over there and the year will be good for his development. I am curious if Hastings and co. pushed for USHL over the OHL for any possible reason.
Also, Murdoch has now apparently left the staff to coach Shattuck St. Mary's.

The Badgers are losing their second assistant coach of the offseason: Kevin Murdock is taking a role on staff at Shattuck. https://t.co/cbxdH7WxhX
This one doesn't bother me too much. Goalies were super inconsistent under Murdock and I questioned whether he needed to be let go. And they need to raise the salary. $57k limits the ability to recruit the best goalie coach. Come on UW, open the purse for the next goalie coach. Salary was listed here:
