Looking at the Big Ten schedule
Big Ten's men's hockey schedule is out
The Big Ten announced their schedule for the 2019-2020 season this week. I’ve highlighted five series that are already worth circling for the first half — check below for the full 2019 schedule.
Michigan at OSU (Nov 1-2)
Wolverines at the Buckeyes to open. Coach Steve Rohlik and company will hope to follow up this year’s stellar regular season with an early take-down of the block M boys to get the new Big Ten campaign rolling.
Wisconsin at Penn State (Nov 1-2)
The Badgers may have had a season to forget in 2018-19, but they are bringing in a recruiting class to remember. Penn State’s high-flying offense look to spoil the fun as they host the new-look Badgers at home.
Michigan State at Michigan, Michigan at Michigan State (Nov. 15-16)
This home-and-home rivalry in the third weekend of the season should be a good one.
Wisconsin and Minnesota (Nov. 22-23)
Listed as ‘WI and MN’ rather than include any geographical details on the schedule, this match-up is also always a fun one. Both teams will have had a chance to get their footing and the Big Ten points on the board really start to matter.
Penn State at Notre Dame (Dec 13-14)
A rematch of the Big Ten tournament championship will end the first half of the season, as teams head into the long holiday break. Most teams won’t have played a Big Ten game from December 7th until January 10th. The Nittany Lions will be off from Big Ten play for over a month as well.
The 2019 portion of the schedule is listed below. Click here for the PDF with the rest of the dates as well. The Big Ten Tournament will have quarters March 6-8, semis March 14, and the championship on March 21. All dates subject to change.
