2014-15 schedules

Re: 2014-15 schedules

How is Atlantic Hockey going to work? Is it going to be 28 games? 26? Something else? Obviously UCONN is in HEA now.

What I heard is 28 conference games. 3 games vs 8 opponents and 2 games vs 2 opponents. I think it is done by lottery.
I would have preferred 4teams x 4games and 6 teams x 2 games, but I am sure the west would have nixed that.

Anybody know if UVM has any big teams scheduled to come in next year for OOC?
 
I just looked at the Gopher schedule for this year (2013-14); they hosted this years Ice Breaker and they played 36 non-playoff games (37 with exhibition against the Canadian School). They didn't make a trip to Alaska this year so the Ice Breaker must be exempt from the 34 game limit.
sounds like we have
 
Re: 2014-15 schedules

What I am hearing about the RIT non conference schedule:

Home vs. Boston College (at Blue Cross Arena)
Home vs. Clarkson/St. Lawrence (New arena opening weekend)

At Yale
At Mariucci Classic

... the Ice Breaker must be exempt from the 34 game limit

As others have noted, the Ice Breaker is indeed an exempt tournament, but IIRC any given school can only avail themselves of this exemption once every four years. If that's still the case, then I don't understand how UMTC could be a participant again NEXT season (as has been suggested here by other posters) without then reducing its NC slate by 2 fewer games to compensate and meet the 34-game limit. Or am I totally out to lunch?

The spreadsheet is back, folks!

I will be making updates today, as well as whenever they are placed on here. Rep me if you'd like to become a collaborator, but please sign the rep, as I am not an Extra member.

Maine's done with the Florida tourney. Maine and UNH will be playing each other in the non-conference, once in Manchester, once in Portland.

That sounds like that would be accurate. ALthough I don't know UMTC's non-conference schedule next year outside of UMD, NSCC, MSU, SCSU.

BC is a hell of a draw for Brick City Weekend. Nice pull for RIT.

Re: 2014-15 schedules

Wisconsin's schedule next year should include home series with Michigan Tech, Boston University, North Dakota and Ferris State. Road series at Denver/Colorado College (one night each). "Road" series vs. Northern Michigan at the Resch Cener in Green Bay, Alaska trip vs. Fairbanks and Anchorage. I believe hey sill have one home series left to schedule (officially) since they have the Alaska exemption.

Most of these games will happen in he first half of the season. I expect the Green Bay weekend to be the first series of the season. Wisconsin will also host the NTDP for an exhibition.

HOME SERIES
Michigan Tech
Boston University
North Dakota
Ferris State
TBD
NTDP (exhibition game)

AWAY SERIES
Alaska/Anchorage
Colorado College/Denver
Northen Michigan (in Green Bay)

Re: 2014-15 schedules

For DU I know BC is coming to Denver for homecoming which I believe is sometime in October. First DU has to get past them this Saturday. I also read Monty is trying to get some games with Maine. Don't know if that will be this coming season.

Will the Denver series likely be in mid to late October?

BC will be coming to DU on Oct. 31 and Nov. 1 2014 for Homecoming Weekend. This was made known several months ago to alums and students. Don't have any other insight into their schedule right now. Since they are still playing, I doubt anymore dates will be known from DU until sometime in April or May. My guess is DU will travel to Cornell sometime after Thanksgiving when school goes on break. Last year they traveled to RPI and UMass for 3 games in December. On the other hand, they have traveled to Maine, BC and BU in early October to begin the regular season before opening at home. That was under Gwoz. DU likes to maximize home games in October and November when the students are there. The students are gone for about 6 weeks from just before Thanksgiving to just after New Year's. They usually start up the New Year with a non-conference series at home and then play conference games the rest of the way.

That'd be awesome if DU went to Cornell around Thanksgiving time because that's when I'll be back home in the area for the Holidays! Would love to see DU and CU at Lynah!

The four year limit only applies to international tours.
