Princeton has announced its 2024-25 men's ice hockey schedule, set to usher in the "Ben Syer Era" with a 29-game slate that will feature a whopping 17 home games at historic Hobey Baker Rink.
In addition to the traditional 11 visits from ECAC foes, the 2024-25 schedule includes six non-conference home games for the Tigers, with weekend visits from Big Ten opponent Ohio State (November 29-30), Hockey East stalwart New Hampshire (January 3-4) and Atlantic Hockey upstart Bentley (January 25-26).
The Buckeyes will be making the first-ever trip to Hobey Baker Rink, while New Hampshire will be making its first trip to Princeton since 1983.
"Announcements like these help build the excitement for everyone around what is to come with Princeton Hockey," said Syer. "The ECAC is a tough conference to navigate, there are no secrets among the teams and you have to be ready to go every night. We're also fortunate to have an Ivy League title to play for, and we will get right after that with five of our first six games against Ivy teams. When you mix in non-conference series with schools from Hockey East, Big Ten and Atlantic Hockey, we are going to be tested every night and our fans are going to see some teams that have not been to Baker Rink in a long time, if at all. It all comes together to hopefully produce an amazing experience for our players, staff and supporters this season. I can't wait to be behind the home bench at Baker Rink and embrace the energy of everyone in such a historic environment."
January 17 will most certainly be circled on Syer's calendar as the Tigers will host Cornell for his first home game against the school where he spent 13 seasons on staff as an assistant coach and associate head coach. His return trip to Ithaca will come early in the season when Princeton visits Lynah Rink on November 23.
The series with Cornell is one of two for the Tigers against ECAC foes that reached a Regional Final in 2024, the other being the traditional home-and-home with Quinnipiac on January 10-11. The Tigers will host the 2023 national champions first before making the return visit to Hamden the following night.
