HOUGHTON, Mich.(Michigan Tech/WBUP) – Michigan Tech will play its 100th year of hockey in 2020-21 and released its updated schedule for the historical season on Wednesday (Oct. 28) in conjunction with the WCHA unveiling its composite schedule.

The 100th season begins at Lake Superior State on November 21-22. The Huskies face Northern Michigan the next weekend for the first of three home-and-away weekends with the Wildcats. The two teams play in Marquette on Black Friday (Nov. 27) with the home-opener at the John MacInnes Student Ice Arena set for Saturday (Nov. 28).

No. 4 Minnesota State travels to Houghton on December 4-5. Tech heads to No. 16 Bemidji State on December 11-12 and then wraps up 2020 with another series with NMU. Tech will host Friday’s game.

The Huskies will play 10 games in a busy January. The New Year begins at home against Alabama Huntsville to kick off the WCHA portion of the schedule. Tech travels to Minnesota State (Jan. 8-9) and Ferris State (Jan. 15-16) before a home matchup with LSSU (Jan. 22-23). The month finally wraps up at Bowling Green (Jan. 29-30).
