MADISON, Wis. – The Wisconsin men's hockey 2025-26 non-conference schedule is out and the Badgers begin on the road at Lindenwood for a Friday and Saturday, Oct. 3-4 series in the St. Louis area.
 
UW's regular-season home-opening series sees the Badgers take on Minnesota State at the Kohl Center for the first time since November 2012. It also will mark an intriguing match-up for UW and head coach Mike Hastings, who will face the school he directed before arriving in Madison. Members of Hastings' staff, as well as three skaters, also own prior ties to the Mavericks.
