Hockey is just around the corner, folks.

After announcing its non-conference schedule back in June, Penn State men’s hockey officially released its full 2022-23 regular season schedule on Monday.

Penn State starts the campaign with a home series against Canisius on October 7 and 8. Then, the Nittany Lions have a home-and-home series against Mercyhurst on October 13 and 14.

The Big Ten portion of the schedule begins a couple of weeks later, with Guy Gadowsky’s program scheduled to travel to Wisconsin for a series with the Badgers on October 28 and 29. Then, the team will travel back home for its first conference home series with Michigan on November 4 and 5.

Penn State will close out the first half of its season with a road trip to face Notre Dame on December 9 and 10. A three-week hiatus will follow before another home-and-home series with RIT on December 30 and 31, with the Nittany Lions playing in front of the home crowd on New Year’s Eve.

After the new year break, the Nittany Lions will get into the toughest part of its schedule with its last six series all coming against Big Ten teams. Penn State will head to East Lansing for a series with Michigan State and return home the following week for a two-game set with Notre Dame on January 20 and 21. Gadowsky’s squad will then hit the road for an away series with Michigan and Ohio State on back-to-back weekends.

Penn State will return home for a Minnesota series that will coincide with THON weekend, with the home slate scheduled to take place on February 17 and 18.

The Nittany Lions will then wrap up the regular season at home against Wisconsin on February 24 and 25.

Student tickets will go on sale on Tuesday, September 20 at 7 a.m. on Ticketmaster. Additional details including pricing should be announced soon.
