Re: Spartan Hockey 2018-2019 - Preparing for Glory
Hearing we’re just not going to have a schedule this year. Some weekends we will just be at Munn and see if another team shows up and other weekends we will go somewhere else and see if they’re in town and not playing anyone else. Pretty dumb way of doing things if you ask me.

Re: Spartan Hockey 2018-2019 - Preparing for Glory
Admittedly a schedule would be good by now vs. promoting Krug's SCF production. But if the program's so fixated on Krug, how about announcing a similar dman recruit for the 2019-20 season? I'm a bit surprised they would go into the upcoming season with 8 dmen, two of whom saw no-to-limited action last season. But that's just me.

As for the other two points I can only speculate. It looks like they are happy with the current top 6 dmen and would prefer to have the dmen in the pipeline to spend next year playing regularly in the USHL. Expect 3 dmen in 2020.
As far as the schedule, we know who we will be playing (B10, NMU, ASU, Cornell, CC, Great Lakes Invite) with the exception of exhibitions....the details will come before September.

Re: Spartan Hockey 2018-2019 - Preparing for Glory
Conference schedule is out. It looks like the LCA game will be Monday the 17th of February?
Also looks like the first series against Michigan is the same weekend as football, so I’m sure that’ll get pushed to a Thursday/Friday.Last edited by Spartanforlife4; 06-05-2019, 11:11 AM.Go Green! Go White! Go State!

So that, exhibitions, and some moves due to football are what’s stopping release. I swear we’ve somehow run into more conflicts with football and basketball since the Big Ten started, which makes zero sense.Go Green! Go White! Go State!

Re: Spartan Hockey 2018-2019 - Preparing for Glory
Now that I've had some time to look at the other schedules, here's what we have:
10/11-10/12: @ Northern Michigan
10/25-10/26: @ Colorado College
10/25-10/26: vs. Arizona State
Unless we're doing split squad, something here clearly has to change.
11/8-11/9: @ Penn State
11/15-11/16: @/vs Michigan
11/23-11/24: vs Notre Dame
11/30-12/1: @ Ohio State (interesting, both B1G series this weekend are Sat/Sun)
12/6-12/7: vs Wisconsin
Christmas-New Years: GLi vs Tech and Ferris/Michigan
1/10-1/11: vs Minnesota
1/17-1/18: @ Wisconsin
1/24-1/25: vs Penn State
2/7-2/8: @ Minnesota
2/14 & 2/17: vs/LCA Michigan
2/21-2/22: vs Ohio State
2/28-2/29: @ Notre Dame
TBD:
Cornell x2
Canadian exhibition
USA U-18 exhibition
Due to the 26th of October being a home football game, I'd assume that's when we go to Colorado, but ASU looks busy every weekend we'd be open except for 12/14-12/15, and that's typically been the U18 exhibition. Meanwhile, CC is open the first weekend in October and that first weekend in January. Plus we still have to fit Cornell in somewhere.Go Green! Go White! Go State!

Also, that off week in the beginning of the season is dumb and it feels like we do it frequently. Fill it, even if it’s with the Canadian exhibition. 2 weeks is a long layoff and is counterproductive when guys are still getting back to game speed after the off season.Last edited by Pirateasaur; 06-06-2019, 10:15 AM.

Also, it feels like we should be gearing up for a new season but no, not for a long time. Might as well be discussing the 2020-21 schedule right now.

Originally posted by Pirateasaur View PostI just remembered that something that might throw an extra wrench in scheduling is that some of those ECAC teams don’t start their season until nearly November. That might cut down on available dates to shuffle everyone.

Shared weekends we have open with Cornell's currently known schedule (provided the late start) are:
11/1-11/2
12/13-12/14
Colorado College could move to:
10/5-10/6
10/18-10/19
1/3-1/4
Arizona State could move to 12/13-12/14.Go Green! Go White! Go State!

Cole doesn’t like home hockey on home football weekends...so it looks like there is some shuffling going on....
