In January, UAA will have one back-to-back series at home, followed by a pair of series on the road in February.
The 31st season of Seawolf hockey commences with the Kendall Hockey Classic, Oct. 9-10. Joining five-time tournament champion UAA at the 19th edition of the Classic are Michigan, Mercyhurst and Alaska Fairbanks.
The Seawolves will look to defend their title when they play in the second annual Alaska Goal Rush tournament in Fairbanks on Oct. 16-17. They will face Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and Robert Morris, respectively.
The 17th season of Western Collegiate Hockey Association for UAA begins Oct. 23-24 as it hosts North Dakota in the first of seven conference series to be played at Sullivan Arena.
