With the 2026-27 season just around the corner, Penn State men's hockey has completed the roster and Big Ten schedule. The Nittany Lions will enter the season with 25 players on the roster, one short of the NCAA maximum of 26. Ten players have been drafted into the NHL, setting a new program record. Dane Dowiak and Reese Laubach have been named co-captains.
The roster consists of 14 forwards, 8 defensemen, and 3 goaltenders. The non-conference schedule was released earlier in the summer, and the Big Ten series followed. However, exact dates were not revealed until today. The non-conference slate includes 24 games and will kick off with game days and times set for all Big Ten matches.
The home series against Wisconsin (January 21 & 22) and Michigan (March 4 & 5) have been set on Thursday and Friday. The first game of the season will be played on October 9 against UConn in the Ice Breaker Tournament, with the puck dropping at 7pm.
