While all the other sports are starting at the University of Arizona, it is almost hockey season in the desert as Arizona Hockey releases its 2022-23 schedule.

We are getting closer and closer to the start of the 2022-23 Arizona Hockey season, which to us means we get to see our Wildcats return to the ice at the Tucson Convention Center for what should be another exciting year.

Already it has been quite some time since the Wildcats last played hockey, especially as we saw an abrupt and untimely end to their season after they lost to #17 Michigan-Dearborn 2-1 in the postseason this past March.

Fast forward to now, and soon we will see action return to the ice this fall. However, the question for us fans for the past several weeks has been just who the Wildcats will play this season.

Well, on Friday afternoon, Arizona Hockey released its schedule for the upcoming 2022-23 season.

And here is who the Wildcats will play this season!

This season, Arizona opens their schedule at home against Davenport, a small D1 team from Grand Rapids, Michigan that narrowly missed the postseason last year.

Also on the schedule will be a strong UNLV team, a Missouri State team that is fresh off of a postseason berth, as well as ACHA powerhouse, Adrian College, and Michigan-Dearborn (the team that knocked the Cats out of the postseason last year).

Arizona’s team in the Tucson Convention Center is soon coming to an end, as Arizona will be playing in the Mosaic Quarter Iceplex at Kino Sports & Entertainment Complex beginning in August 2024. Construction has not yet started on the Iceplex.
