So we know quite a bit early on already but let's fill in some blanks...
Travel Partners + Travel Partners = Cluster****mates
Duluth/Tech + Minnesota/Wisconsin
CC/Denver + Mankato/UAA
UND/SCSU + Bemidji/UNO
Just a review... Within each cluster, each team plays the other 3 teams in two series' (4 games). Then they play 4 more home and 4 away series' against those outside of their cluster for total of 28 conference games. The clusters will change each year but the travel partners stay together for at least the next 5 years and at the end of 5 years every team will have played each other the same amount (other than your travel partner).

Previously Released Schedules (tentative but pretty solid):
A bunch of WCHA schools just released their's recently. Instead of sorting through which ones have been announced, here you go. North Dakota's official one comes tomorrow. Note that Wisconsin and Minnesota have some weird stuff going on. They have a couple of Fri/Sun games now, which are the icebreaker tourney (applicable to holy cross, bu, and notre dame) and the huntsville series. Also, Minnesota now lists the home St. Cloud series as being 10/23-24 (Sat/Sun) even though the St. Cloud website does not yet.

North Dakota
SCSU
Duluth
Denver
UNO
Mankato
Minnesota
UAA

Based off of all of this, this year's rotation gives each team these matchups...

Anyone else have any WCHA game information? If I've made any typos please let me know.
