Ohio State and Nebraska-Omaha highlight a 16-game regular-season home schedule for the Quinnipiac men’s hockey team this season at the TD Bank Sports Center.

Games at St. Cloud, UMass and Providence highlight the non-conference road schedule.
Quinnipiac plays at Yale Nov. 6, then plays host to the Bulldogs Feb. 18 as part of a 20-game ECAC Hockey schedule.

The Bobcats will play host to Ohio State on Oct. 8-9 to open the regular season. Quinnipiac defeated Ohio State twice last year on the road to open a season that would see the Bobcats ranked as high as No. 4 in the country.

"I’m excited for the upcoming season," Quinnipiac coach Rand Pecknold said in a statment. "We have once again put together a challenging non-conference schedule that features Ohio State, Nebraska-Omaha, Providence, St. Cloud, Canisius, Bentley and Holy Cross. We’re very excited to have Ohio State and Nebraska-Omaha visit the TD Bank Sports Center this year."
