2011-12 Schedule Announced

After waiting for what seemed like forever last year, this coming season's schedule has already been announced before the Frozen Four begins. I have one word to say--awesome.

At first glance, you can tell the Nanooks are no longer clustered with the 3 Big Ten teams, and appear to be bundled with Ferris State, Western Michigan, Bowling Green, and Notre Dame. Of which we'll play each other 4 times, once in Fairbanks, and once in their respective barns. As a reminder as well, next year's tournament participants include St. Cloud and Clarkson, then Nebraska-Omaha and Mercyhurst for the Kendall and Brice respectively.

Should be an interesting season. Seems to be a pretty strong first half with a couple of Bowling Greens slipped in there. Here is the pasted schedule from the Nanooks website... What's your take?

UAA must have set the Governor's Cup schedule. Although their season will be long over by March 24th, we'll hopefully still be playing in the tourney and will probably have to forfeit those games. Cheaters.

...or maybe it's a typo. :)

Yup. It was a typo. But since Anchorage won't be kicking it in the tournament, I'm sure they wanted to schedule something in that time frame to keep themselves busy... ;)

Man, 30+ day break followed by two weeks on the road in December and January. That could be brutal. Other than that, looks about like par for the course.
