Schedule Realignment
The Air Force hockey program has been forced to reshape its upcoming calendar as the football season overlaps with traditional winter matchups, prompting a coordinated realignment across the academy's athletic slate.
Originally slated for October 16‑17, the two‑game series with Lindenwood will now be played on October 15‑16, while the November 13‑14 matchup against Bentley has been moved to November 12‑13, ensuring that hockey contests do not directly conflict with football commitments.
Exhibition Opener
The season will officially open with an exhibition game against the University of Omaha on October 2, providing the Falcons with an early test of chemistry and conditioning before the regular schedule begins.
Exact start times for all contests will be announced in the coming weeks, allowing coaches, broadcasters and fans to plan accordingly as the academy fine‑tunes logistics for each venue.
This realignment reflects the broader operational considerations at the United States Air Force Academy, where disciplined scheduling and resource management are essential to supporting multiple high‑profile athletic programs.
