The Falcons then head to Colorado for the first of two trips to the Rocky Mountain State on the season.

They face Colorado College on Oct. 10 and the University of Denver one night later, a team that was in the NCAA Manchester regional with Bentley and advanced to the Frozen Four.

Bentley visits UMass Amherst at the Mullins Center for the first time since the 2011-12 season on Oct. 18.

That is followed by the home opening weekend at Bentley Arena, and the first Atlantic Hockey games of the season, on Oct. 24-25 against Canisius.

November is a mix of conference and non-conference games. A home-and-home series with Army West Point on Nov. 7 and 9 is followed a home series against Alaska-Anchorage on Nov. 14-15. A home game against RIT on Nov. 21 is followed by a single-game at Army on Nov. 25 and a home game against New Hampshire on Nov. 29.

The first half of the season concludes at home against Niagara on Dec. 5-6.

The second half of the season begins with a home-and-home series against Holy Cross on Jan. 2-3.

Two straight series on the road against Air Force and Sacred Heart precede a home, non-conference set against Princeton on Jan. 23-24.

From there it's 10 straight AHA games until the playoffs begin. In that stretch the Falcons will host Holy Cross (Feb. 7), Army (Feb. 10), Sacred Heart (Feb. 13-14) and Air Force on the final weekend of the regular season (Feb. 27-28).

As the Falcons look to defend the AHA championship, the dates for the postseason are the first round on March 3, the quarterfinals starting on March 6, the semifinals starting on March 13 and the championship game on March 21.
