On Thursday morning, UConn Men’s Hockey released its schedule for the 2017-18 season.
The Huskies will be playing a 34-game regular season schedule, with 24 of those in Hockey East play, two more than last season even though Notre Dame left the conference. Membership now stands at 11 teams.
UConn opens on campus against St. Francis Xavier for the second straight year, with their exhibition to be played on September 30.
The season opens for real on the road against 2017 Frozen Fenway and Hockey East opponent Maine when the Huskies play the Black Bears on October 6 and 7 at Alfond Arena.
