A trip to rival North Dakota, a home-and-home series against Minnesota Duluth and a game at Xcel Energy Center against St. Thomas are a few of the highlights of the Gophers men’s hockey team’s 2023-24 schedule, announced Monday when the Big Ten finalized its slate.
The Gophers, last season’s NCAA runners-up, begin the season with an exhibition game against Bemidji State on Oct. 8 at 3M Arena at Mariucci, where fans will get a first look at the renovations that included reducing the size of the ice sheet from the Olympic size 100-feet-by-200-feet to 89-by-200.
The regular season will open for the Gophers on Oct. 13 at Xcel Energy Center against St. Thomas as part of a doubleheader with the Gophers and Tommies women’s teams. The Gophers men’s team will be host to St. Thomas the next day at Mariucci.
A trip to North Dakota follows on Oct. 20 and 21 before the Gophers open the Big Ten season against Wisconsin and new coach Mike Hastings on Oct. 26 and 27, a Thursday-Friday series.
Minnesota and Minnesota Duluth play a home-and-home series Nov. 3 and 4, with the opener in Minneapolis and the finale in Duluth.
The remaining nonconference series for the Gophers are both at home, Jan. 7-8 (a Sunday-Monday series) against Colorado College and Jan. 12-13 vs. Robert Morris.
Starting times and TV details will be announced later.

The South Dakota delegates to the Democratic National Convention met virtually Monday night and voted unanimously to endorse Vice President Kamala Harris as their nominee in the 2024 presidential race.
South Dakota Democrats hopeful, not yet ready to endorse Harris as presidential nominee
In voting to endorse Harris, South Dakota Democrats fell in line with other state and national Democratic leaders who quickly followed the lead from President Joe Biden, who dropped out of the 2024 race via social media Sunday afternoon and endorsed Harris as his successor shortly thereafter.
Democrats in Nebraska, Maryland, Florida, New Hampshire, Alabama, North Carolina and Virginia were among the states where Democrats backed Harris as of Monday evening.
Harris has also picked up endorsements from key leaders at the national level. California Gov. Gavin Newsom, mentioned as a possible Democratic contender himself, endorsed Harris quickly on Sunday. Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi endorsed Harris Monday. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries had not endorsed Harris as of Monday evening, but Jeffries said earlier in the day that Harris had “excited the House Democratic Caucus and she’s exciting the country.”
Late Monday evening, the New York Times, CNN and other national media organizations reported that Harris had secured the backing of more than the 1,976 delegates needed to win the nomination in the first round of voting at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago next month. The news came by way of a poll from The Associated Press, which broke the story.
The poll listed 2,668 delegates pledged to Harris and 54 undecided as of 10 p.m. CST Monday.
The Democratic National Committee will move forward with the process to formally nominate a presidential candidate Wednesday when its Rules Committee meets in a public virtual session amid ongoing efforts to set up a virtual roll call vote ahead of the convention next month in Chicago, according to reporting from States Newsroom.
South Dakota Democrats backed Biden with around 75% of the vote in the state’s June 4 primary. In a news release, the South Dakota Democratic Party announced that its 20 voting delegates to the August convention had voted unanimously to back Harris.
“We thank President Biden for his leadership throughout his career and for choosing Kamala Harris four years ago to be his Vice President,” said Delegate Chair Jessica Meyers. “Harris has proven that she is more than equipped to take on the Presidency and we as a delegation are looking forward to casting the official vote for her.”

BISMARCK – Hunters can now apply for a 2024 North Dakota swan license
on the Game and Fish Department’s website
at gf.nd.gov, the department said Monday, July 22.
North Dakota residents and nonresidents are eligible to apply. The resident swan license is $10, while the nonresident fee is $30. The application deadline is Aug. 21.
North Dakota’s statewide tundra swan hunting season opens Sept. 28, and 2,200 licenses are available. Successful applicants will receive a tag to take one swan during the season. Since swans are classified as waterfowl, nonresidents may hunt them only during the period their nonresident waterfowl license is valid.
All swan hunters, regardless of age, are required to have a general game and habitat license when applying. In addition, nonresidents must have a waterfowl license, and residents 16 and older need a small game or combination license.
