The Ferris State University men's ice hockey squad will open the 2023-24 season on home ice this weekend as FSU hosts the Miami (Ohio) RedHawks on Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 7-8, inside the Ewigleben Ice Arena.

The season opener on Saturday is slated for a 7:07 p.m. (ET) puck drop and fans are encouraged to wear black as part of a "Black Out" day that coincides with FSU's home football matchup versus Saginaw Valley State earlier in the afternoon.

Meanwhile, the series' finale is scheduled for Sunday beginning at 5:07 p.m. (ET). All current FSU students with a valid ID card will receive free admission for Sunday's game.

This year marks FSU's 46th season of NCAA Division I hockey action and 32nd campaign under longtime head coach Bob Daniels.
