The Western Collegiate Hockey Association (WCHA) has unveiled its composite league schedule for the upcoming 2024-25 season.  The schedule features a total of 112 conference games and this will mark the 26^th season of women’s hockey competition in the WCHA.
  
The 2024-25 composite schedule outlines weekend dates and opponents for each of the league’s eight member institutions. Exact game days and times of each two-game series will be determined by the host institution, with online schedule pages being updated accordingly. Full schedules including non-conference matchups will be released at a later date.
 
“We are looking forward to another season of exciting play in the WCHA.  The level of competition and quality of play in the WCHA provides our fans with outstanding match-ups on the ice each week and our schedule truly helps our teams prepare for success in the NCAA tournament each year,” WCHA Commissioner Tracy Dill said.

The nation’s premier women’s collegiate hockey conference, the WCHA has won 21 national championships since 2000 and league member Ohio State won the WCHA’s 20^th NCAA national championship in 2024.

 

The WCHA’s regular season is followed by the eight-team WCHA First Round, with the league’s four series winners advancing to the 2025 WCHA Final Faceoff at Amsoil Arena in Duluth, Minn. on March 7-8. 
 
The WCHA league schedule features 28 games for each team in 2024-25 as all eight programs play in two, two-game series (one home, one away) against each of the other seven member institutions. While the weekends are assigned, teams may opt to play Thursday, Friday, Saturday, or Sunday, or for an agreed upon home-and-home series.
 
The battle for the Julianne Bye Cup (regular season champion) begins with the league’s first games on the first weekend of the season with Minnesota Duluth traveling to Ohio State on Sept. 21-22.  The following weekend, Ohio State will travel to Bemidji State on Sept. 28-29 before the league’s first full weekend of games takes place on Oct. 11-12.
 
In a rematch of the 2023 and 2024 NCAA championship games, Wisconsin and Ohio State will square off against each other in Columbus, Ohio on Nov. 15-16 and then meet later in the season in Madison, Wisc. on the weekend of Feb. 14-15.
 
To conclude the 2024-25 regular season WCHA schedule on the weekend of Feb. 21-22, Wisconsin will travel to Bemidji State, Minnesota Duluth will play at Minnesota, Minnesota State will play at St. Thomas and St. Cloud State will be on the road at Ohio State.
 
This year’s WCHA schedule will include 17 weekends with at least one WCHA series being played, while 11 weekends will feature a full allotment of four league series in action.
 
2025 WCHA Postseason Tournament
