Last season, the Hockey Team for Women at Boston University left its non-conference schedule with proof that it could deal with the best teams in the country. This season the terriers have the chance to actually beat them.
BU will open 2025-26 that organizes six-time national champion Minnesota for a weekend series before he travels to ECAC Powerhouse Colgate for two games the following week. Both the Golden Gophers (four straight performances) and Raiders (five) are NCAA Tournament support pillars.
While BU was competing last October in two losses in Minnesota and returned home with a critical dose of confidence to start a recoplistic season, in October, the ruling hockey -east champions were able to achieve a characteristic victory over their CV.
And that is only the first two weeks of a regular season with a matchup with an arch rival in Agganis Arena, a trip to Noord -Ireland and a discouraging last month.
The full demolition of 2025-26 BU ladies hockey schedule, below.
The schedule
The biggest games to watch
Vs. Minnesota, October 3 and October 4
BU went to St. Paul with house money last October. The terriers have almost stolen a competition from the number 2 team in the country, a crucial dose of trust in the beginning of the year, and the rest is history. By the time the Terriers won Hockey East, it was worth wondering: could have beat BU Minnesota if they had played at the end of the season, not during the children’s shoes of the program revival?
In October we get our answer – kind of. The Gophers, who will appear another frozen four, will certainly be a top 5 team in the nation when they travel to Wally B. the Terriers, lost one ton From experienced contributors, so they will probably not be so good to start 2025-26 as ending up 2024-25. Nevertheless, the explained goal of the program is to support the competitiveness on the Nationale Toneel. Tara Watchorn and Co. took a huge first step on that trip last season; Now we will see if they can take another one.
What a way to start the year.
In Colgate, October 10 and October 11
There is no larger indicator on the schedule of BU of the progress that has been made under Watchorn than this series. A year ago, the second non-conference series of the Terriers in Syracuse, an AHA Cellar-Wederverzekerde. This year it is in Colgate, which has won four of the last five ECAC titles and has just graduated the PWHL’s concept no. 1 pick.
The Raiders will probably also be a top 5 team, or at least ranked in the top 10, when Bu makes the trip to Hamilton, NY, which means that the Terriers can have four opportunities with their first top 10 wins since 2021.
Vs. Boston College, November 14 (in Agganis Arena)
BU broke a record for the presence of women’s hockey last November when BC came to Agganis Arena for a Friday Primetime -Matchup, and even after the women moved back to Wally B, the school is declining this year.
The BU Men will be out of the city, so this matchup – a Friday series final This time, after a Thursday evening opener at BC – will be in Primetime again. And of course the Green Line rivement will be a major test in the early season. The terriers were 3-1 against the Eagles last year.
Vs. Minnesota-Duluth/Quinnipiac/Harvard, Friendship Four, January 2 and January 3 (in Belfast, Northern Ireland)
A season after the BU men won the Belpot, the Terrier women will jump over the pond for the inaugural ladies’ tournament of the Friendship Four. That in itself is important enough but BU’s competition in Belfast, Northern Ireland offers another major non-conference test.
Duluth is a blue blood, one of only five programs with a national championship. The Bulldogs made their fifth consecutive NCAA tournament last season. Quinnipiac is also no joke; The Bobcats finished fifth in the ECAC and 10th in the last survey of USCCHO in 2024-25 (and they will Alex Law, a BU transfer).
Whatever happens, the terriers will come across one of those teams, and they can both be confronted.
In Northeastern, vs. UConn, vs. Providence, at Boston College from 13 February to 21 February
This is a glove. To end the regular season, BU will be confronted with each of his fellow top-five Hockey East teams. If the rankings are held as well as at the end of last year, these games will be huge.
The terriers were given last season at the end of the end of the end and were swept by UConn to lose the regular seasonal title. They get an even more difficult to conclude 2025-26.
Other games to pay attention
Vs./at Northeastern, October 31 and November 1
Death, Taxes and Bu and Northeastern Women’s Hockey play a home and home series in October. 2025-26 will be the third consecutive year that it happened.
The Terriers finally achieved the best of the Huskies last season. But Northeastern still made his ninth consecutive hockey East -final and will certainly be a competition again. This series will be a great measuring stick for each program.
Vs. Northeastern, Beanpot semi -final, January 13 (in Walter Brown Arena)
The BU website confirms that Wally B will indeed be the host of the Beanpot Semis, which is logical, since the BU’s turn was to host last year, but it was not possible because of the renovations.
In any case, BU could still not conquer in the 2025 final in the TD Garden in the 2025, and now the Terriers get the Beanpot -Dynasty of the Huskies in the Semi. BU won his only beanpot as a Varsity program in 2018.
