The 2016-17 Schedules Thread

Re: The 2016-17 Schedules Thread

It's not going to be perfectly what you suggested this time around, as already I'm seeing a conflict with Boston College, given their special game at MSG. Doesn't mean that they can't reschedule, of course. However, I'd prefer to see this confirmed with at least one team before I start putting it all in only to have to take it out again.

I mentioned it so people would be alert for conflicts. For example, if the BU-Michigan series is the second weekend of November instead of third, that ruins it. The BU-PC games should be the second weekend. If the reports of a new Frozen Fenway are accurate the reverse engineering will be blown to hell anyway.

Not necessarily; unlike years past where HEA had 27 conference games, we've seen more and more that the teams are scheduling non-conference games vs. conference opponents. Frozen Fenway could be entirely NC.

Hearing October 21-22, but that Thanksgiving weekend, November 25-26, is preferred by UMD although the WCHA tentatively has a conference series planned for Minnesota State. I've also been told that there's a chance they don't play this year and will the following due to a team locked into a series for 2017-2018 wanting to play in 2016-2017. Should know more by the end of this week or early next.

My personal preference is that they play Thanksgiving weekend and UMD plays Michigan Tech on the 21st and 22nd. Although that series is up in the air too.

Last year Merrimack and UNH hosted St.Lawrence and Clarkson. I remember reading that it was a two year agreement and that UNH and Merrimack would be making the return trip this year.

The North Dakota/Minnesota series on Nov 4th/5th will be either a Friday/Saturday or a Friday/Sunday series. it all depend on the start time for the Gophers football game that Saturday. Most of the time no other Gophers sporting events take place on a Saturday when there a football game.

Hosting Purdue is almost a lock for an 11am kickoff, so who knows.

Do you have a link to the WCHA info, or something that would be able to be typed out here?

I've heard the WCHA was close, but had to "blow up the schedule."

Take it for what it's worth. (Likely just some schools wanting better home dates.)

The Lakers had an issue where they had to play on the road at Northern the weekend after going to Alaska. Damon stated that it is against league policy to be on the road after an Alaska trip. Not sure if other teams had similar issues with the preliminary schedule.

Actually I think it's a bye from conference action the week after Alaska.

Last year Minnesota State & Michigan Tech played home conference series the week after visiting Alaska. Ferris, LSSU and Bowling Green played home conference series after both of their Alaskan trips. Bemidji played a home non-conference series the week after doing the Alaskan double. Only NMU and UAH had the week off after their Alaskan excursions.

I recall listening to BSU radio and Schultzie said something about a conference bye after Alaska. It was BSU's choice to play ASU after Alaska (mainly because they could not fit them in on any other weekend).

So perhaps I heard incorrectly.

I believe at one point in time it was a rule to have a bye week after going to Alaska.

I know in the CCHA there were times we played the week after going to Fairbanks. Byes were more frequent when you had separate 10-12 team leagues with only one Alaska and each league only required 7 trips to Alaska. Now you have a ten team league and there are 14 times teams go North.

In my 6 CCHA seasons, NMU took five trips to Alaska. 3 times they had a bye the following week, once they played at home and one road non-conference series. In three WCHA seasons, the first year we had a Fairbanks trip and played a road non-conference series the following week and an Anchorage trip that we played home the week after, did the double last yearand played home the week after and had the week off after this year's Fairbanks trip.

Looking at this, I would guess SLU mimics most of these opponents.
