Penn State announces its full 2025-26 slate on Wednesday afternoon featuring 15 home games and 19 road games with 24 AHA conference games and 10 non-conference matchups.

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. – On Wednesday afternoon Atlantic Hockey America announced its complete 2025-26 women’s hockey schedule with each team playing each other a total of four times, twice at home and twice on the road.

“We are driven to build the most competitive non-league as possible, in addition to playing our stout AHA schedule, in order to prepare us for our goal of playing at Pegula Ice Arena during the last weekend of year,” stated head coach Jeff Kampersal.

The Nittany Lions will play 15 games at Pegula Ice Arena with 19 games on the road. The non-conference portion of the schedule is highlighted by trips to 2025 national runner-up and two-time national champion (2022 & 2024) Ohio State, perennial power Northeastern and a home-and-home with Cornell.
