The 2018-19 Schedules Thread

Link to this year's spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1qmduvEavIzlPZci4Y7UuB8wPuVSZZOOa3mdIjMgeea8/

"Effectively complete"* schedules:

Mass Lowell

B1G: Conference Schedule Released
Michigan State
Minnesota
Ohio State
Penn State

NCHC: Conference Schedule Released
Colorado College

WCHA: Fully Released :)
Alabama Huntsville
Alaska Anchorage
Alaska Fairbanks
Bemidji State
Bowling Green

* Effectively complete meaning the school has released the schedule, or enough alternate information has been reported to determine the schedule is complete, minus exhibition games. Discretion will be used to determine whether WCHA teams will be using their entire allotment.

Thank you to everyone who has posted, is posting, or will post information to help compile this.

Anyone know what happened to the original visit to Clarkson this year?

Earlier in this thread it was rumored that Minnesota bailed on that portion of the contract. However, St. Lawrence is still visiting for their 2 games @ Mariucci. So my hope is that MN simply requested to flip years 3-4 of the deal, and may visit next season instead. Time will tell.

Given how many away games they have this year coupled with the series situation, along with what we see from some of the other teams in that league (tOSU has perennially been a glaring exception, and Wisconsin and State for now), I have an odd feeling they're not going to travel.

Is Red in charge of the hockey program's travel?

Not sure it's that, so much as the Big Roll-a-D20 think, like football and basketball, that everyone will want to travel to them on account of prestige and they don't ever have to play away non-conference games.

Considering the luxury boxes overlook both the rink and stadium and the access to one side of the stadium is through the rink it is impossible to hold both at the same time unless BC could use it to increase football capacity by about 7500 and hockey capacity by 44700 with those in the other sections viewing the other game on the videoboards. Deducting about 300 since you could not count the luxury boxes twice. Sure the Fire Marshall would have some input on this.

Can you imagine all those tony homeowners in Chestnut Hill and Newton selling parking spots on their front lawns? :D

I just had a thought on this... with all the feelings of BC possibly being able to get into the tournament if the math wasn't stacked against them this past year, could they possibly be trying to stack the math by playing as many away games as possible? It doesn't count as much against you if you lose away, but it's weighted more if you win or tie away.

Since 2000-03 Coach York has generally scheduled 15 or fewer home games a season:
scheduled home games:
17 once (2008-09)
16 twice (2012-13 & 2017-18)
15 eight times (2002-03 through 2007-08, 2014-15 & 2015-16)
14 four times (2009-10, 2011-12, 2016-17 & 2018-19)
13 two times (2010-1 & 2013-14)

So, I think Coach York schedules fewer home games because that is what works for BC.

Big teams schedule more home games because it's more revenue and smaller teams are willing to travel to them.

Gophers almost always have 18-20 home and 14-16 away.

Hearing some rumors that Merrimack is going to start hosting a tournament on Thanksgiving every year but it might not start until 2019.

Maybe this is why UMD's visit to Merrimack was postponed until 2019.

No Mass Hole would ever give up the parking spaces in front of their homes. Were would they store the lawn chairs and other implements used to save the spaces for their own? 😁
