A weekend on the road follows with trips to Salem State and UMass Boston making up November 15-16. 

Nichols visits Eastie Friday, Nov. 22 with outings to Johnson & Wales (Nov. 23) and Franklin Pierce (Nov. 26) following. 

Suffolk is set for a home-and-home with Wesleyan that wraps up November and opens up December. 

The rest of the second month of action will all be played at the Rams' home rink as Norwich (Nov. 6), Salem State (Nov. 7), Southern Maine (Nov. 13) and New England College (Nov. 14) pay Title Town a visit.

The homestand the concluded first semester action carries into the New Year when Suffolk drops the first puck of 2020 at home against Trinity Sunday, Jan. 5. 

A Tuesday, Jan. 14 tilt at Connecticut College preps the Rams skates for the second stretch of league play, which picks up the next Jan. 24-25 in East Boston versus Johnson & Wales and UMass Boston.
