2026-27 Schedules Thread

Sheet updated - really just missing dates and just a few nonconference TBD:

Wisconsin - 2 (should be Robert Morris)
Robert Morris - 2 (should be Wisconsin)
Army - 1 (Northeastern or Yale?)
Holy Cross - 1 (Northeastern or Yale?)
Northeastern - 1 (Army, Holy Cross, or Yale?)
Yale - 1 or 2? (Unclear if Maryville in Oct will count or not) (Army, Holy Cross, or Northeastern?)

Princeton could potentially have another game if Maryville in Oct doesn't count like Yale ... (Northeastern, Army, or Holy Cross?)

I know UConn could have 2 additional games with the ice breaker exemption but heard they are not taking advantage of it?
Army schedule is out, and NU is not on there. So that leaves Yale.........(unless somehow the Keefe/Hastings connection has them playing a game against Wisconsin).
 
Additional scheduling info:

UConn will play Northeastern Nov 13-14 and Feb 5th.

UConn will play Merrimack Oct 30-31 and Jan 2.

Northeastern will play Merrimack Jan 22-23.
 
I assume the second team in each matchup is the home team?
NU @ Merrimack for both games.

UConn at Merrimack both Halloween games but @ UConn Jan 2.

NU seems to be hosting UConn somewhere Nov 13, possibly Hartford on Nov 14 and storrs Feb 5th.

It also sounds like Brown may have lost the LIU game and LIU replaced them with NU ... we shall see once things get officially announced.

We (UConn STH) have not been given the list of which games are at Toscano and which games are in Hartford, with the one notable exception of 11/7 against Providence. That game will be in Hartford, likely at night, as UConn football plays UNC at noon in East Hartford. I have not seen ANY Northeastern home games yet...obviously that could change, but for now, it seems like they are playing all on the road. Now whether they set it up where NE gets last change, etc, remains to be seen. A lot of HE rinks have benches on either side, so they could do that.

So, unless I'm wrong, there's 1 game left, Vermont @ Merrimack, which I'm guessing by process of elimination will have to be that last weekend in February, either the 26th or 27th.

If you trust CHN, the MC vs. UVM game is the 27th.


There does seem to be a good amount of small errors on team schedules (home/away flipped, extra games added etc.) They have an extra UNH-MC game on Feb 8 listed.

Obviously I cannot prove this, but my suspicion is that there's been some AI use in generation of schedule postings and releases, leading to all the errors. I can't ever recall this number of discrepancies and errors before this year, which fuels my suspicion.

I don't trust CHN, but I think that's the only weekend that both MC and VT have open together.

NU appears to have 3 "home games". Two against BC, at least one of which appears to be at Conte. The other is against UConn, at "your guess is as good as mine".

Wondering why not all road games, unless BC and UConn said they don't want give up the 1.2 multiplier for a road win (which i'm sure NU would have to agree to return that favor in 2028 to 2030). (And BC and UConn would not have any obligation to do so). If this is the case, it does seem odd that all the other HE teams are willing to accommodate a "we'll trade you now for later agreement", while BC and UConn would not. All speculation of course. But in either case, its the best of both worlds for both UConn and BC, as they would get all the home revenue, and the road game multiplier for wins, presumably at their own rink.

As it stands right now, UConn would have 17 home games...if all 3 games against Northeastern are in Storrs or Hartford. Now, will all of those be officially classified as "home games" by the NCAA, if Northeastern is the designated "home team" for one of them? No clue.

The CHN site doesn't indicate anything other than NU has a home game. But assuming the NCAA/HE allows BC is to be the visitor at Conte, they would have to allow the same for UConn down there. I didn't bother to see what other rinks are open near Boston on Nov 13th.

On 11/13, BC is at UMass, BU is off, Bentley and Harvard are both away (at Air Force and at Princeton, respectively)

So it's absolutely possible Northeastern could play a "home game" at any of those sites.
