St. Thomas’ men’s hockey team will play a nonconference series against perennial power and future conference rival North Dakota Oct. 10-12. The Tommies will be joining the National Collegiate Hockey Conference in 2026-2027.

The series will open on Friday at Ralph Engelstad Arena in Grand Forks, a 7:04 p.m. start, then move to Xcel Energy Center, soon to be Grand Casino Arena, for a 5:30 p.m. puck drop at St. Paul on the Wild’s home ice.

The Tommies open their season Oct. 4 at St. Cloud State, and play their first home game — in the new Lee & Penny Anderson Arena — Oct. 24-25.
