The University of Connecticut women's ice hockey program has released its full slate for the 2026‑27 campaign, a 34‑game schedule that blends non‑conference road trips with a heavy home presence at the newly renamed Toscano Family Ice Forum.
Season Overview
The season kicks off on September 19 with an exhibition tilt against Quinnipiac, setting the tone for a year that will see the Huskies test themselves against a mix of familiar rivals and new opponents.
After the opening exhibition, the team travels to St. Cloud State for a two‑game road series on September 25‑26, before returning to Storrs for a home series against Clarkson on October 2‑3 at the Toscano Family Ice Forum.
Early Non‑Conference Matchups
October brings a pair of pivotal two‑game series, first at Princeton on October 16‑17 and then a home matchup against Mercyhurst on October 23‑24, giving the Huskies early opportunities to fine‑tune their lineup.
The Huskies will also compete in the 22nd annual Nutmeg Classic, opening the tournament with a game against Sacred Heart on November 27 at 6:30 p.m., a showcase that draws regional attention to the program.
Hockey East Slate
The Hockey East portion of the schedule begins in late October with a home‑and‑home series against Holy Cross on October 29‑30, followed by a string of conference battles that will see UConn host Boston College on November 5‑6, travel to Providence on November 13‑14, and return for a two‑game set against Vermont on November 20‑21.
Providence and Vermont round out the early November slate, giving the Huskies a chance to build momentum before the winter break.
January Conference Series
January brings three consecutive two‑game conference series, starting with Merrimack on January 15‑16, followed by Northeastern on January 22‑23, and concluding with New Hampshire on January 29‑30.
