While the team and the rest of the WCHA were able to hold a season last year, they couldn’t do so with fans.

Now the Wildcats have announced season ticket packages for the 2021-22 season.

This season, NMU is scheduled to host 22 games, including seven nonconference games and an exhibition against the U.S. National Team Under-18 Development Program based in suburban Detroit.

Northern opens its season with three straight home series, beginning Oct. 8-9 against CCHA newcomer and NCAA Division I’s newest member, the College of St. Thomas of St. Paul, Minnesota.
