Northeastern Huskies men's ice hockey seasons
« 2024–25 2026–27 »

The 2025–26 Northeastern Huskies Men's ice hockey season will be the 94th season of play for the program and 42nd in Hockey East. The Huskies will represent Northeastern University in the 2025–26 NCAA Division I men's ice hockey season, play their home games at Matthews Arena and be coached by Jerry Keefe in his 5th season.

Season

In March of 2025, Northeastern announced plans for a new multi-purpose building that would serve as the ice hockey team's new home.[1] Due to structural deficiencies found in Matthews Arena, it was determined that the oldest rink in North America could not be refurbished and would have to be demolished.[2] Because the new facility would be built on the same site as Matthews Arena, the team would have to find alternate accommodations while construction progressed. The last game for the men's team at the Arena was on December 13, after which the team played their 'home' games at various facilities throughout the region.
