The Big Ten on Tuesday announced that the 2020-21 hockey season is expected to begin on November 13th. They announced their schedule plan for the COVID-19 delayed season which includes a normal 24 game regular season for all seven Big Ten schools. Each team will also play four non-conference home games against the Arizona State Sun Devils—the only non-conference games any Big Ten team will play this season. The 28 game season will culminate in the Big Ten Tournament in March which will be held over one long weekend instead of the prolonged three weekend schedule the last few years.
