Rowan Ice Hockey is heading south to The St. James in Springfield, Virginia, for the 2026 ACC Fall Classic, and the Profs are bringing plenty of momentum with them.
Coming into the showcase on a five-game winning streak, Rowan looks to keep things rolling against three formidable opponents. But this weekend is about more than just wins and losses.
With the next ACHA Men’s Division 2 rankings approaching, the ACC Fall Classic carries significant weight for every team competing. These matchups present an important opportunity to make a statement, build momentum, and strengthen each program’s position as the season progresses.
Expect high stakes, intense competition, and a playoff-like atmosphere throughout the weekend. Every shift, every period, and every result matters.
And for Rowan, it all starts with a familiar opponent.
TONIGHT: THE BATTLE OF THE BIRDS
Rowan vs. UNC Wilmington | Friday, November 6 | 5:00 PM
The Profs open the weekend against UNC Wilmington in what is quickly becoming a growing rivalry between two programs.
The history goes back to the 2024 ACC Championship, when Rowan defeated the Seahawks 5-3 to capture the championship. Tonight marks another chapter in the Battle of the Birds.
Both teams know what it takes to win this matchup, and with the upcoming ACHA M2 rankings adding even more importance to the weekend, there’s plenty on the line.
Rowan enters riding five straight victories and will look to carry that momentum into Virginia, starting with a statement against the Seahawks.
