Hooray to the MSU Mavericks. They are one of the first WCHA schools -- if not the first -- to release its schedule for next season.

The Mavs play three WCHA teams twice, Michigan Tech, UMD and Alaska Anchorage. And because they go to Anchorage for a series, they can play an additional two nonconference games.

They play RPI on the road, UMass-Lowell and Alabama-Huntsville at home, and St. Lawrence away. With those eight non-conference games, MSU Mankato has a 36-game schedule.
