The Biggest Upsets From College Hockey's 2026-27 Season: Week Six

Week Six of the 2026-27 NCAA Hockey season was electric! Thrilling action gripped the country and resulted in some high profile upsets, especially within the top ten. Here are the three biggest surprises of the weekend. Outcomes will be listed in alphabetical order by the winning program's name.

Head Coach Anthony Noreen has solidified a winning culture in his third year at Miami, and this win against Minnesota–Duluth solidifies that. The RedHawks split their two game road trip with the Bulldogs via a 3-2 decision Friday. Top producer Matouš Kucharčík added a goal and an assist to his ledger while David Deputy struck in the first period to open the scoring. Miami has been a sleeping giant for too long and with this split, I would be shocked to see them left off USCHO's Top 20.

Providence started their season 5-0 and were off to a great start. Since then, the Friars have dropped two of their last three games including one at home Thursday to No. 16 UConn. San Jose Sharks prospect and Huskies' captain Joey Muldowney notched his 100th career collegiate point on a second period penalty shot. UConn is quietly creeping onto the national radar with some quality performances. If the Huskies clean up their consistency, they could be dangerous.

The Garnet Chargers had a rough weekend on the road against two conference challengers. After going into the second period up 2-1 against Clarkson on Friday, Union surrendered the next five goals and fell 6-1. Saturday, the Garnet Chargers outshot St. Lawrence 32-27 but came up short courtesy of two first period Saints' tallies. Union has a chance to bounce back against a struggling UMass–Lowell team on Friday.
