Salt Lake City, Utah
The M2 Skatin’ Utes are back home this weekend and looking to recover from a tough outing last week. After two convincing losses against in-state opponents Utah State and Weber State, the Utes are looking to bounce back on home ice. They will face Utah Valley on Friday, November 13, and will seek out revenge against Weber State on Saturday, November 14.
LAST TIME OUT
The M2 team is coming off a rough weekend that ended with a 0-2 finish and a 1-11 score differential. The weekend started in Logan against Utah State (Game Center), as the Utes fell 4-0 in the two teams’ first matchup of the season. The Utes’ offensive lulls continued against Weber State in a 7-1 loss in Ogden (Game Center). Despite the Utes having the highest goals-per-game average in the Mountain West (5.3), the Utes put up only one goal on the weekend and dropped to 6-5 on the season.

SCOUTING THE WOLVERINES
The Utah Valley Wolverines are still in search of their first win of the season, as they currently sit at 0-9 and lie at the bottom of the MWCHL rankings. In the two matchups against Utah Valley earlier this season, the Utes outscored the Wolverines 25-0 and gained some valuable momentum in their favor. The Wolverines are currently allowing 12.6 goals per game, and the Utes will look to honor that trend as they hope to put some fuel back in the fire.
SATURDAY’S MATCHUP
Date | Time: Saturday, Nov. 14 | 7:30 p.m. MST
Utah (6-5-0) vs. Weber State (13-4-0)

SCOUTING THE WILDCATS
The Weber State Wildcats are a powerhouse of the MWCHL and are undefeated against the Utes this season. In their prior matchups, the Wildcats won 2-1 and 7-1, and have had tremendous showings against this Utah team. Despite this, both matchups have taken place on Weber home ice, as the Utes will find themselves with home-ice advantage for the first time in this season’s matchups. Utah will hope for some mid-season revenge on Saturday, while the Wildcats will look to keep their winning streak alive.
LOOKING AHEAD AT THE 2026-27 SEASON
It’s no doubt the Utes hit a bit of a slump offensively this last weekend, scoring just one goal in their two matchups. With a conference-leading 5.3 goals per game before last week, the Utah offense hit a roadblock against two tough conference teams. The Utah defense, which was also ranked #1 in the Mountain West at 2.3 goals allowed, allowed 11 goals and conceded the most goals against in a single game all season (7). The Utes will need to sharpen their play as we get deeper into the season if they want to compete in the star-studded MWCHL.
The Utah M2 team will play the first of seven straight home games this Friday and will come out swinging against a Utah Valley team that had a hard time stopping them earlier this season. The Utah home-field advantage goes hand in hand with their performance, as the Utes are 16-3 at home over the last two seasons. The M2 Utes will look to get their feet back under them and gain some much-needed momentum as we start the ladder-half of the 26-27 season.
