UND hockey plays Michigan State in the 2026 U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame Game on Saturday, Oct. 31, at the H-E-B Center at Cedar Park, outside Austin, Texas. Puck drop is 7:07 p.m. Central, according to the arena's event listing.
The game has been on the calendar for nearly two years. UND Athletics announced in November 2024 that North Dakota and Michigan State would head to Austin for the 2026 game. It is a long trip for a program that usually plays within the NCHC footprint, and it follows the weekend series at Minnesota covered earlier this week.
