The 2015-16 Schedules Thread

Re: The 2015-16 Schedules Thread

I am waiting to hear. I would assume it would be for one of those two. Would love for a fan of one of the Alaska schools to confirm!
 
Re: The 2015-16 Schedules Thread

UAH's conference foes according to Geof on the UAH thread:

Home and Away:Mankato, Bemidji, NMU, UAA
Home Only: Alaska, MTU
Road Only: Ferris, LSSU
 
Re: The 2015-16 Schedules Thread

BSU will be playing at both Alaska schools next year. They will do that over the same trip in January.

UMD's nonconference opponents; UMTC, Notre Dame, Northern Michigan with two unknowns. That should be correct...

I've been told that UMass-Lowell will likely be making a weekend trip to Duluth at the end of October.

Great to know! Exciting! Makes sense because Tech wanted to play UMD every year, but UMD's schedule was full because they were going out east.
 
Re: The 2015-16 Schedules Thread

RIT's OOC:
* at St. Lawrence (Oct)
* at Clarkson (Oct)
* Bowling Green (Most likely 10/17)
* at Boston College (Nov - thanksgiving weekend i think?)
* Colgate
* at Colgate

Have the rest of NMU's conference cluster setup, by any chance? We might as well get those situated.

For WCHA teams, look at the schedule from 2013-14. It's the same. Just flip the home and road games with the teams you only played one series against.

NMU will play four games against Tech, Fairbanks, Mankato, Ferris and Huntsville, two at home and two away. Then I believe they should have 2 games at home against Anchorage & Bemidji and road trips to LSSU & Bowling Green.

In non-conference they are at Wisconsin, at the GLI, home against UMD, then I believe a home & home with LSSU.

Does the league also specify dates, or just who plays who, and the teams pick dates on their own? Might be nice to get all of that filled in right away, and at least the second half of the season would be easily figured out.

So for Bemidji State's schedule, the year BSU pulls the Big Three in trips:

Home: Mankato, Huntsville, Ferris, Lake Superior, Alaska, Michigan Tech, Bowling Green

Away: Mankato, Huntsville, Ferris, Lake Superior, Alaska, Anchorage, Northern Michigan

Non-Conference: North Star Cup for sure. I would think North Dakota (home and home) and St. Cloud (away) would still be on the schedule, and with Alaska trips, BSU would still have up to four more games to fill, 38 total, if they so choose. I have heard that Arizona State in Bemidji may be a possibility. I am not 100% sure on the pairings for the North Star Cup and whether BSU would have a match up with the Gophers there or in a non-conference series.

Most of the dates are set, but haven't been released yet. Once the league has given the teams the first draft of the schedule, there is often a bit of shuffling that goes on amongst the teams. There are time when teams may seek to move a series to a mutual open date to facilitate non conference play or to better place their bye week, or teams that play four times may look to flip home dates with their opponent. The official conference dates won't be released until they are all set in stone. I don't have an official release date.

Somehow the ECAC's league schedule, outside of games between travel partners and games moved to aid Harvard's fruitless quest to win a Beanpot, always seems to get out early.

They still include the games, but never fear, the wise sage behind the spreadsheet knows the date will be moved.

NCHC seems to also be good with putting out a league schedule early, as well as Hockey East ever since they went to their current format. Sadly, the Big However-many-schools-they-have-now likes to move around games in order to accommodate squeakball, which makes life difficult, and the AHA, well, do any of the teams outside of RIT and maybe Bentley really see hockey as important?

Besides the North Star Cup, BSU will be hosting Arizona State and home and home with North Dakota. Also on the schedule will be St. Cloud (which I am assuming will be in St. Cloud), and Duluth (no notice on where).
