Providence College’s women’s ice hockey program has released its full 2026‑27 regular‑season schedule, a 34‑game slate that blends non‑conference road trips with a heavy Hockey East slate.
Season Overview
The schedule comprises 10 non‑conference games and 24 Hockey East matchups, offering a balanced mix of opponents from across the country and the conference.
The Friars open the campaign with a home‑and‑home series against Sacred Heart on September 25‑26, followed by a two‑game set at Quinnipiac on October 2‑3, beginning on the road.
Hockey East play begins on October 9 with a home game against Northeastern, the reigning regular‑season champions, setting the tone for conference competition.
A six‑game road stretch in late October and November will take the team to Boston College, Clarkson, the University of Maine and the University of New Hampshire, testing the squad against diverse styles of play.
November features Hockey East contests against New Hampshire, UConn — the defending tournament champions — and Boston University, providing a tough early‑season gauntlet.
Providence will host Brown for the 31st annual Mayor’s Cup on November 28, a tradition that draws a large campus crowd and celebrates historic rivalry.
The first half of the schedule wraps up with a home‑and‑home series against Merrimack, after which St. Thomas will visit for a historic two‑game series in January 2027.
January also includes an away game at Northeastern, a home matchup with Boston College and a non‑conference tilt against Yale, before the team travels to Vermont for a weekend series on January 29‑30.
The season concludes with a tournament in February that pits the Friars against Boston University, Merrimack, Boston College and Maine, culminating in a final road trip to Burlington, Vermont.
