The Huskies will open at home, October 20-21, against Connecticut
ST. CLOUD—The St. Cloud State women's hockey team will treat fans to another exciting season in the WCHA—the nation's premier college hockey conference—next season as the team and league announced the Huskies 2017-18 schedule on Thursday.
SCSU's 35-game regular season slate begins on Friday, September 22 with a home exhibition against the Korean National Team and concludes February 9-10 with a two-game road series at league rival Bemidji State.
Seven of St. Cloud State's first nine games will come within the friendly confines of the Herb Brooks National Hockey Center. Its home-opening series will be a non-conference tilt against Hockey East's Connecticut September 29-30. The Huskies begin WCHA play October 20-21 at home against Ohio State.
In total, SCSU will play 24 WCHA league games, six non-conference contests—including a pair of one-off games against traditional conference foes BSU and Minnesota—and five exhibitions.
Four of the team's exhibitions will be against the Minnesota Whitecaps, a professional women's team that features some of the top players in the sport.
Following the regular season, the Huskies will compete in the 2018 WCHA Tournament. The best-of-three quarterfinals will take place February 23-25 on the campuses of the No. 2-4 seeds. The top-seeded team will have a bye into the 2018 WCHA Final Face-Off, which is scheduled for March 3-4 at Ridder Arena in Minneapolis.
Tickets for women's hockey games will be on sale at scsutickets.com. Youth under 18 and SCSU students with a valid university ID receive free admission to all women's hockey home games.
