After an international break, the team will return to western New York to square off against RIT (Nov. 18) and Niagara University (Nov. 19), playing the Purple Eagles for the first time in program history.
RING IN THE NEW YEAR
The Under-18 Team will get ready for 2023 with a pair of matchups against some of the nation's top programs. The two-game set begins with a trip to Minneapolis to take on the University of Minnesota , where the NTDP will look for its third-ever win over the Golden Gophers.
On New Year's Eve, the U18s will take on the University of North Dakota. Team USA snapped an 11-game losing streak to the Fighting Hawks this season, and will aim for back-to-back wins in Grand Forks.
MINNESOTA MADE
Outside of their trip to Minneapolis to play the Gophers, the U18s will have an additional trip to the Land of 10,000 Lakes when they take on the University of St. Thomas (Oct. 14) and Bethel University (Oct. 15) early in the season.
