Good thing they also play 10/2

Are they not playing at Hartford anymore? Last year they played at Freitas but that was covid. Figured they’d be back in Hartford this year. Also, thought they were playing the majority of their games in Hartford even with the new arena.

^ Yeah, that could change. UC hasn't announced their schedule yet so perhaps UM went with the campus city by default.

Didn't realize UConn was building a new on-campus arena for hockey but looked it up and surprised to see it's only going to have 2600 seats so it will be the 2nd smallest rink in Hockey East. Looks nice but capacity wise not much of an upgrade from Frietas Ice Forum.

Anyone know what the deal is with the Michigan series? Hopefully it involves Michigan making a future trip to Amherst.

Recruiting! Five (5) returnees hail from Michigan and at least one (1) [couldn’t find all the hometowns for the incoming class] more coming on board....

Setting up a move to the B1G

The roster is up:

Just wondering if it’s a definite that they are raising the championship banner on October 2nd ?? Will be flying solo that weekend and thought hitting the Toledo game then hanging around for our hockey season opener would be fantastic !!!

Yes 10/2 is banner raising night

It appears that we will be playing a couple against the NHL #1 overall draft pick:

Bring it on! I wish that the games were at Mullins.

RPI not allowing general public admission to games and Merrimack requiring Vaccination to attend sporting events.

'RPI admission policy: seems a little harsh, but it's their rink. They don't want to mess with Covid. Can't blame them.

Merrimack is requiring full vaccination? I hope UMass does the same.

It's almost Sept; I'm waiting for my tickets. Really hope to watch home games at the Bill.

Some very interesting ticket news for hockey.

At this moment, we may not sell opening game @UMassHockey tickets on a single game basis. We have sold a record amount of season tickets and will be offering mini-plans starting Monday (9/13). If we have any inventory left, we will offer to the public. Recommendation: BUY NOW!

Has anyone seen a start time for the 10/2 game?

I believe it is 7:00 pm and football is noon.
