HUNTSVILLE | The University of Alabama in Huntsville hockey program and head coach Mike Corbett announced the 2015-16 regular season schedule on Monday afternoon, which includes nine home series at the Von Braun Center and three opponents that participated in the 2015 NCAA Hockey Tournament.
 
UAH will drop the puck at home to open the 2015-16 campaign for the first time since 2012-13, as Hockey East member Connecticut visits the Rocket City on Oct. 9-10 for the first series of the season. The Chargers have a history of success against the Huskies on their home ice, boasting a 6-2 record against UConn at the VBC.
 
After one week away from competition, the Blue and White will return to the Von Braun Center to open the Western Collegiate Hockey Association schedule with a visit from Alaska Anchorage (Oct. 23-24). UAH topped UAA in both games last season in Huntsville to start the 2015 calendar year.
 
UAH then travels to Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan for the first road series of  the year at Lake Superior State (Oct. 30-31), before coming back to the VBC to take on 2015 NCAA Hockey Tournament participant Michigan Tech (Nov. 6-7).
 
The next trip for the Chargers is the closest regional matchup in Bowling Green (Nov. 20-21), then UAH will host a four-game homestand against Bemidji State (Nov. 27-28), in a post-Thanksgiving contest, and Northern Michigan (Dec. 4-5).
 
A road series at Broadmoor Trophy winner and 2015 NCAA Tournament qualifier Minnesota State (Dec. 11-12) wraps up the road slate for 2015, with the Chargers heading home to take on NCHC affiliate Colorado College (Dec. 18-19) before heading into the break.
 
The Chargers will ring in the New Year with a non-conference matchup against 2015 Frozen Four participant North Dakota (Jan. 1-2), which will be the first matchup between the two programs since UAH made a trip to Grand Forks in the 1989-90 season.
 
The first home series of 2016 will be against Alaska Fairbanks (Jan. 8-9), followed by consecutive road series at Ferris State (Jan. 15-16) and Alaska Anchorage (Jan. 29-30).
 
UAH will then be visited by Minnesota State (Feb. 12-13) for the first time since the 2013-14 campaign, before heading out for the final road trip of the regular season with stops at Northern Michigan (Feb. 19-20) and rival Bemidji State (Feb. 26-27).
 
The final series of the regular season will be at the VBC against Bowling Green (March 4-5). The WCHA Playoffs are scheduled for March 11-13 at campus sites, while the WCHA Final Five is slated for March 18-19 in Grand Rapids, Michigan at Van Andel Arena.
