A New Chapter for Penn State Hockey
Penn State’s men’s ice hockey program has released its full slate for the 2026‑27 campaign, giving fans a first look at the matchups that will shape the upcoming season.
The schedule kicks off with the Ice Breaker Tournament in Connecticut, where the Nittany Lions will test themselves against a competitive field before diving into conference play.
Outside the Big Ten, Penn State will travel to face Quinnipiac, Robert Morris and Canisius in non‑conference contests that promise varied styles of play.
Big Ten competition begins with a road trip to Minnesota, and the league slate features home series against Notre Dame, Ohio State, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Michigan State and Michigan, each opponent meeting the conference’s double‑round format.
The regular season will close with a home series against Michigan, a rivalry that often carries significant implications for seeding and morale.
Later in the year, the NCAA Regionals are slated for March 25‑28, and the Frozen Four will be held at Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C., on April 8 and 10, offering the team a chance at national glory.
