NEW HAVEN, Conn. – The Yale men's hockey team has announced their 2024-25 slate of games featuring 14 appearances at the historic Ingalls Rink, announced on Tuesday, August 6. The Bulldogs also announced their season ticket package.
 
Yale's 29-game regular season (22 ECAC Hockey games, seven non-conference games) begins at home when they host the 2023-24 defending national champion Denver Pioneers for a two-game set on Nov. 1-2. Yale will play eight more games in the month of November with six of the eight in ECAC Hockey play.
 
The Bulldogs will play just one game in December when they host Boston University to close out 2024. They will resume play on Jan. 3 with back-to-back home games. Yale will play four more games in conference play before taking a pause to compete at the CT Ice Tournament, which is back for the fifth year (Jan. 24-25) and will feature the Bulldogs alongside CT-based Division I institutions, Quinnipiac, UConn, and Sacred Heart with the latter serving as this year's host. All games will be played at the Martire Family Arena in Fairfield.
 
In the home stretch of the season, the Bulldogs will have 10 games remaining after CT Ice, an even split with five home and five on the road. Yale will cap the regular season with a back-to-back set at home against Harvard and Dartmouth, respectively.
