ST. LOUIS – Maryville ACHA Men's Hockey has announced its 2026-27 schedules. The upcoming year features an updated leadership group as Connor Chatham assumes head coaching duties for the M1 team, Kevin Gregory takes on the role of General Manager for all three men's ACHA teams, and Assistant Athletic Director of Hockey John Hogan continues to oversee the department's hockey operations.

MEN'S 1
Fresh off a sixth consecutive appearance at the ACHA National Championships, the M1 Saints enter the season looking to build on another impressive campaign after advancing to the national quarterfinals for the second consecutive year before falling to the eventual national champion.

The 2026-27 slate features several marquee matchups, including contests against perennial national powers Minot State, Ohio, and Drury, while also introducing a new road trip to the University of Mary in Bismarck, North Dakota. Under first-year head coach Connor Chatham, the Saints will look to continue the winning tradition that has made Maryville one of the nation's premier ACHA hockey programs.

MEN'S 2
The M2 Saints once again face one of the Midwest's toughest schedules with familiar conference rivals including Lindenwood, Missouri, and Arkansas highlighting the slate.
Maryville will once again host the MACHA Division II Conference Tournament, welcoming many of the league's top programs to Maryville University Hockey Center. After earning back-to-back appearances at the ACHA Division II Regional Tournament, the M2 Saints under head coach Gary Tockman, will look to qualify for regionals for a third consecutive season while competing for another MACHA championship.

MEN'S 3
Entering his second season behind the bench, Head Coach Arren Romeril has the M3 program trending in the right direction after guiding the Saints through a successful rebuilding campaign in 2025-26. The team finished the year at .500 while laying a strong foundation for the future.

This year's schedule includes regional matchups against Missouri and Saint Louis University, along with several contests against ACHA Division II opponents that will provide valuable tests throughout the season. Combined with a veteran leadership group and an experienced returning core, the Saints are positioned to take another significant step forward in 2026-27.

WHAT'S AHEAD?
While the department begins its inaugural NCAA Division I season, the ACHA programs remain an integral part of Maryville Hockey and will continue competing for conference and national championships while providing an elite student-athlete experience.

In addition to hosting both the MACHA Men's Division II and Division III Conference Tournaments, Maryville will once again help welcome the nation's top collegiate club hockey programs to St. Louis as a host site for the 2027 ACHA National Championships. The event, hosted in partnership with the St. Louis Sports Commission, the St. Louis Blues, and Centene Community Ice Center, marks the fifth time Maryville has played a key role in bringing the ACHA's premier championship event to the St. Louis region.

With three men's teams competing across the ACHA and another challenging season ahead, the Saints look forward to welcoming fans back to Maryville University Hockey Center this fall for another year of championship-caliber hockey.
