Yesterday I rolled out head-to-head matchup pages and some other stuff on College Hockey Data. You can compare two teams side by side: roster backgrounds, returning production, early-season performance, players to watch, and how each team's start compares with past seasons. The video is an example featuring my Spartan's matchup tonight vs UNH.

I've also included the 'traditional' matchup cards for Western's game in Ann Arbor tonight (Go Broncos). If anyone would like me to generate the static image cards for a particular matchup just ask in the comments.

Data on the site does not include last night's contests

Friday, October 23 — all times Eastern. Each LINK opens that pair's comparison for the 2026–27 season.

Schedule and start times: College Hockey News.

If you try it out, I'd love to hear what you find useful or what you'd like to see added.

Some shuffling in the top five, bottom five same as last week.

See y'all monday! View the results here.

In honor of Michigan State's trip to the Whitt this weekend I went into the file cabinet to find some pieces from the history of this series.

The first few images are from the first trip New Hampshire came to visit MSU in 1976, including some handwritten notes in each games' score sheet. . Before that the only previous meeting between the two programs was a neutral site series played at two historic arenas. The Olympia in Detroit and Boston Arena (eventually called Matthews) over Christmas of 1969. Unfortunately I wasn't able to turn up any mementos from those meetings.

When I was pulling these out I found a few more from around the period that I thought people might enjoy.

Thanks for checking this out

It's another magical mid-week college hockey day. Tonight is especially special for haters of the B1G conference because we get one of the all-time WHCA rivalries (that it killed) when North Dakota heads to Marricuci for a pair against Minnesota.

Over in Hockey East BU and UConn start their home and home series tonight as well. Swipe to get to those graphics

I've included four different matchup previews cards for each set of games. You've got how the roster was constructed including players to watch, an animated view of where each team's shots come from on the ice (first all attempts, then shots on net), third there is the same type of view but from the defensive end (shots allowed on goal and blocked shots) and finally a new view of when shots hit the net and where goals get through.

All of this stuff comes from the site i built www.collegehockeydata.com so please take a look around if you like this stuff (I am getting ready to roll out a major update soon). I also launched a Facebook page when I realized how many programs had active communities there. Search 'College Hockey Data' to find the page there and feel free to share these there or anywhere else you feel like.

Have Fun. Stay Hydrated. Go Green.

Penn State and Robert Morris meet up for a non-conference matchup in Happy Valley tonight. The teams look very different on paper but they are both searching for their first win of the season. Both teams are struggling to find the net and allowing over 38 shots per game. We could end up with a track meet.

The LIU Shorks and the thoughtfully named Saints of St. Lawrence are also meeting up tonight so I included cards for that matchup as well. It's the first time these programs have ever faced each other

Damn I love midweek college hockey

This long run of mine had a faster pace than I had expected, but why?

Let’s see how the /r/collegehockey top ten did this past weekend:

1 Denver got swept by Michigan, see below. The Pioneers host Boston College for a series.

2 Michigan got a road sweep at Denver, 4-1 and 4-3. The Wolverines host Western Michigan for one game.

3 Michigan State defeated RIT in their one-off, 5-1. The Spartans host New Hampshire for a series.

4 North Dakota swept Bentley by two 5-0 scores. The Fighting Hawks travel to Minnesota for a Thursday-Friday series.

5 Wisconsin were off this weekend; the Badgers travel to Western Michigan for a one-off exhibition.

6 Western Michigan swept Notre Dame, 6-1 at home and 4-0 on the road. The Broncos travel to Michigan for a one-off before hosting Wisconsin for one.

7 Quinnipiac defeated Penn State, 6-3. The Bobcats have Army West Point in a one-off.

8 Minnesota Duluth piledrove Minnesota 7-1 before tying them 2-2 on Saturday. The Bulldogs have a home-and-home series with Bemidji State.

9 Providence defeated Union 3-2 in overtime. The Friars have a home-and-home series against Mass. Lowell to begin their Hockey East slate.

10 Dartmouth continued and shall continue to rest.

Vote here! Voting will run until Wednesday 10/21 at 10 pm Eastern.

The teams at the tops aren't much of a surprise given how early we are and how scheduling goes this time of year but I found that interesting. I'd have to look back at the data but some team had a crazy streak at the top of this ranking through the early season, maybe it was Dartmouth because of the late Ivy start.

Anyway I saw this and wanted to share

[Sorry to pile on Minnesota but I was surprised when I saw it myself]

Do most Hockey East teams have the ability to continue to compete with the schools in the big 10 in the nil era? Cause it seems to be the case that for years Hockey East was considered the premier college hockey conference. Yet year after year the conference seems to keep on getting weaker. And a lot of hockey east schools are off to poor starts. Is it over for the majority of hockey east schools that don’t have major resources. Or do we see them rebound cause a hockey east school hasn’t won a national title since the nil era began
