Re: 2017-18 Schedules Thread
Some more updates on UW (per a Todd Milewski article)
The date of two of the Badgers' non-conference games for the 2017-18 season has been released.
North Dakota will play UW at the Kohl Center on Nov. 3 and 4, according to the Fighting Hawks schedule announced Wednesday. It's the start of the second half of a four-season contract that brought the Fighting Hawks here in 2014 and took the Badgers to Grand Forks in 2015.
After a year off in the 2016-17 season and North Dakota's trip to UW in 2017, the Badgers are scheduled to travel in 2018.
The Badgers also have contracts to play two games against Northern Michigan at the Resch Center in Ashwaubenon, two home games each against St. Lawrence and Mercyhurst and single games at Boston College and Merrimack in the 2017-18 season.
They had a deal to play a series at Michigan Tech next season in return for games in Madison in 2018-19, but that has been pushed back.
The Badgers are in discussions to play in the U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame Game in the 2017-18 season. That game doesn't count toward the 34-contest limit.
Looking at what is already on the schedule, I would guess that we can safely pencil in the 1 away at Merrimack for Oct 14 to match up with BC on Oct-13.
I had heard Oct 20-21 for the UW vs NMU in Green Bay series. Looking at what UW already has on the sheet as well as what the Resch Center in Green Bay is showing on their calendar, that seems to be the most logical date.
Does anyone have any information about the 17-18 Hall of Fame Game? Other teams being mentioned? Date and place?

Also, it looks like the Vegas tournament isn't going happen, unless they didn't include it here. But that would leave them 2 games short; will they try to fill that with club play, or stick with straight D-I? Obviously it's tough when you're independent, but I see the odd team leagues are already paying dividends.
I'm a little befuddled as to the second tournament... Princeton looks full so there probably won't be a Brooklyn one, Kendell and Brice are gone as far as I can tell, I heard rumor that Shillelagh might not be happening this year (you're already playing that weekend anyway so it can't be that), a number of others are already full... only ones I think are remaining are Mariucci and Three Rivers; perhaps it's one of those?
