The season begins with an exhibition game at the US National Development Program on October 8. The teams will meet for the second straight season. The regular-season opener is the next weekend (Oct. 14-15) at Alaska. The home opener also kicks off CCHA play on October 21-22 versus Bemidji State. The lone non-conference home series of the season is on October 28-29 against St. Lawrence.

The Huskies travel to Bowling Green on November 4-5 and then host Lake Superior State on November 11-12. A trip to St. Thomas on November 18-19 and a home series against Minnesota State on Thanksgiving weekend wrap up the month.

Tech travels to Northern Michigan on December 2 and wraps up the CCHA series the next night at the John MacInnes Student Ice Arena. The Huskies and LSSU Lakers wrap up their season series on December 16-17 in the Soo.

Michigan Tech is committed to hosting a four-team Great Lakes Invitational Tournament in late December. An official announcement will be made at a later date.

The Huskies return to the Desert Hockey Classic for the second time after winning the tournament in January 2016. Tech plays at Arizona State on January 6 and wraps up the tournament against either Air Force or Boston University.

January continues by hosting St. Thomas on January 13-14. The Huskies travel to Ferris State for their only regular-season meeting with the Bulldogs the next weekend (Jan. 20-21).
