The University of Wyoming hockey club, off to a 5-2 start and ranked seventh in the Pacific Region of the American Collegiate Hockey Association (ACHA), returns to the ice this weekend with three home games.
The Cowboys open with a 7 p.m. Friday faceoff against the University of Nebraska (4-3) at the Taco John's Events Center in Cheyenne. The Cornhuskers won the last meeting between the clubs, 6-4 in November 2007.
UW's weekend continues Saturday with a 7 p.m. showdown against Iowa State University (2-2) at the Laramie Community Ice Arena and concludes Sunday in Cheyenne with an 11 a.m. contest against Creighton University (0-2).
UW's games last week, against the University of Colorado and the Colorado School of Mines, were cancelled because of poor travel conditions. The Cowboys haven't played since sweeping a two-game series Oct. 24-25 at Mesa State College.
