Razorbacks Unveil 2026‑27 Ice Hockey Schedule
The University of Arkansas Ice Hockey Club has released its full 2026‑27 schedule, detailing home‑and‑away contests for both Division II and Division III teams and setting the stage for a competitive season.
All home games will be played at the Jones Center in Springdale, Arkansas, a facility that has become the program’s primary venue since the club’s inception.
The season opens with a Red vs. White scrimmage on August 21 at 7:30 p.m., offering fans an early glimpse of new talent arriving from traditional hockey hotbeds such as Minnesota and Michigan.
Head Coach Keller Sims emphasized that player preparation and locker‑room energy will be critical factors as the team moves into the competitive stretch of the schedule.
Division II’s first home opener is slated for September 11 against Oklahoma State at 7:30 p.m., followed by a two‑game series with Georgia on September 18‑19.
Additional non‑conference matchups include contests with Texas A&M on November 20‑21, while the Razorbacks will travel to Nashville to compete in the SEC Showcase from January 8‑10.
The schedule reflects a deliberate effort to test the squads against a variety of opponents, from regional rivals to national powerhouses, thereby sharpening depth and fostering growth.
The University of Arkansas Ice Hockey Club has been a member of the American Collegiate Hockey Association since 2007, and the upcoming season promises to build on that foundation with fresh talent and heightened expectations.
