The Lawson Loonies will have to be in mid season form quickly into the 2017-18 hockey season because the Broncos open the (NCHC) conference portion of their season hosting new crowned NCAA champions Denver University on November 3rd and 4th.

And that schedule doesn't let up, as national runners-up Minnesota-Duluth will host the Broncos the following weekend.

Wrapping up last season, the Broncos finished #10 in the US College Hockey Online poll. While the season ended on a disappointing note, a Top 10 finish is still a point of pride and something to build on.
