The Seawolves hockey team has announced their 2023-24 season schedule. 

The Alaska Airlines Governor's Cup is the highlight of the schedule, a six-game series against the University of Alaska Fairbanks Nanooks. The Governor’s Cup dates back to a rivalry that sparked between the two teams in 1994.

The Seawolves will face off against the Nanooks three times at home, on Dec. 1 and 2 and on Feb. 3. 

The Seawolves kick off their season on Sept. 29 in an exhibition game against Vancouver Island University at the Avis Alaska Sports Complex.  

UAA will return to the Sports Complex on Oct. 7 and 8 to face off against UMass Lowell in the first games of the regular season.

Compared to last season, the Seawolves are playing four more games and competing at home nearly twice as much. 

In an interview with UAA Athletics head UAA hockey coach Matt Shasby said, "we are incredibly excited about our schedule in our second season as an independent."

"We have a nice mix of nationally ranked opponents and new teams to college hockey. Our fans will get to enjoy the new seating at the Alaska Avis Sports Complex for 16 games, watching NCAA Division I hockey at the highest level." 

In addition to a great season line-up, the Seawolves also have new seating in the Avis Sports Complex to look forward to. This renovation is expected to be done for the second half of the season.
