December 28-29 (Monday and Tuesday) in 2020, right around when conference games would start  Have 20 conference games next year...

[Mr. Nielsen]

Nice. The old days of the early 90's of the Badger Hockey were pretty sweet as young kid.

[The Hippie Satan of Hyperbole]

It's really not that big of a deal.  They used to have similar tournaments, along with the Bucks and Admirals, at the BC.  They'll figure it out.

[Litehouse]

Not thrilled about it, but there's always going to be other events at Fiserv to complicate the schedule, whether it's Badger hockey or monster trucks.  Although, a hockey game at Miller Park would be cool.

[Mr. Nielsen]

I hope Fiserv Forum is always busy. The concert number of events in year one already smoked in what the BC ever had.  Nothing to worry about for MU. Zero.

Probably just means we'll start on the road, though conference play might get started on an early weekend in December to accommodate the 20 game schedule. I could see us starting on the road at UConn since our first ever Big East game was at UConn, though they may want to give the Huskies a more "traditional" (read Nova, St. John's, Georgetown) first game back in the Big East.

The bigger issue might be that it would be tight to squeeze in a buy game after the Christmas break with practice time before such a game.

Go whoever the Badgers are playing.

[Dr. Blackheart]

Marquette Ice Eagles to follow?

[Mr. Nielsen]

The bigger issue might be that it would be tight to squeeze in a buy game after the Christmas break with practice time before such a game.

I don't think they need to do that in how the schedule will lay out in 20/21.
