UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa.
– The Penn State women's hockey program has unveiled its 34-game schedule for the 2022-23 season Wednesday afternoon per the College Hockey America's league-wide schedule announcement.
 
The Nittany Lions, coming off a program-record 18-win season, will play a challenging nonconference slate featuring five 2022 NCAA Tournament teams, including hosting traditional Big Ten opponent Wisconsin at Pegula Ice Arena for the first time. Penn State will also take on traditional Big Ten opponent Minnesota in a four-team Las Vegas tournament in late November. 
 
Penn State will also play traditional 16 games against CHA foes Syracuse, Mercyhurst, Lindenwood and RIT with 10 of those games finishing the regular season.

The 2023 CHA Postseason will open with a pair of best-of-three semifinal series with the No. 1 seed hosting the No. 4 seed and the No. 2 seed hosting the No. 3 seed Feb. 24-26.

The CHA postseason will conclude the weekend of March 3-4 when the two semifinal winners meet at the home of the highest-seeded semifinal winner for one game to determine CHA's 2023 postseason champion. Date and time for the championship game that weekend are to be determined.
