Karanka's assistant manager, Steve Agnew, served as caretaker manager until the end of the season. On 9 June 2017, it was confirmed that former Swansea City and Leeds United manager Garry Monk would become the new manager for the 2017–18 season.

2017–18 Minnesota Duluth Bulldogs men's ice hockey season, Season
Minnesota–Duluth was coming off a very successful season where they won the NCHC Tournament and finished as the National Runner-up. Unfortunately, the team lost five of its top six scorers in the offseason as well as their starting goaltender, Hunter Miska. Despite the roster turnover, the Bulldogs were ranked No. 6 in the preseason poll and opened their season by hosting the Ice Breaker Tournament. After winning against preseason No. 3 Minnesota Duluth stumbled, going 0–2–2 over its next four games.


2017–18 Minnesota Duluth Bulldogs men's ice hockey season, Season
UMD was still trying to find its starting goaltender and after a 0–0 tie against Bemidji State it looked like Nick Deery had claimed the job but after surrendering 5 goals to the woeful Merrimack Warriors in the very next game Hunter Sheppard got the starting job once more. Sheppard would allow only 3 goals in the next three games (all Bulldog wins) and stake his claim in goal.


2017–18 Minnesota Duluth Bulldogs men's ice hockey season, Season
With the goaltending seemingly settled head coach Scott Sandelin now had to get his team to score. Over a five-week period in November and December, once the Bulldogs began their conference schedule, Minnesota–Duluth never scored more than three goals in a game and were shut out three times. UMD's record dipped below .500 and they were floundering at the bottom of their conference. Just before they went on winter break the Bulldogs exploded for 11 goals in two games against Omaha and, though they lost one of the games when Sheppard had his worst match of the year, the sudden offensive burst game the Bulldogs something to build on.


2017–18 Minnesota Duluth Bulldogs men's ice hockey season, Season
Just before the new year Minnesota–Duluth played in the Ledyard Bank Classic and after dropping Yale in the first game they faced host Dartmouth in the title match. Both teams fired over 40 shots at one another but the game ended in a 2-2 tie. A shootout was held to decide the champion (but did not count for official standings due to the NCAA not sanctioning shootouts) and the Bulldogs skated away with the title. Hunter Sheppard was named as the tournament MVP and used the mid-season championship as a springboard to help the team get back into playoff contention.

UMD returned to their conference schedule in the second week of January and took two road games against Colorado College before hosting No. 7 North Dakota. The Bulldogs' power play came up big, notching three goals in each contest to help the team sweep the weekend and send UMD into the top ten for the first time since early November.


2017–18 Minnesota Duluth Bulldogs men's ice hockey season, Season
The success was short-lived, however, and Minnesota–Duluth lost four of their next five, including their fifth-straight to Denver. The team was shut out twice more over that stretch but recovered swiftly when they played Miami and Western Michigan, outscoring their opposition 21–1 over those four games. After splitting two games with Omaha Minnesota–Duluth ended the season with a 13–11 record in the NCHC, earning them the No. 3 seed in the conference tournament. UMD met Western Michigan in the quarterfinal and continued their recent dominance over the Broncos by shutting them out in both games to comfortably take the series.

The Bulldogs got the No. 3 seed in the West Regional and were set against Minnesota State for a rubber match. The Mavericks scored twice early and appeared to be cruising to their first tournament win but the Bulldog defense clamped down thereafter, preventing Minnesota State from recording a shot in the second period while slowly chipping away at the lead. UMD tied the game late in the third on the power play and then won the game in overtime on a shot from Parker Mackay. Duluth continued its defensive play in the Regional Final against Air Force, outshooting the airmen 14–0 in the first while taking a 2–0 lead. The Falcons would eventually score late but the UMD would win the match 2–1.


2017–18 Minnesota Duluth Bulldogs men's ice hockey season, Season
The Bulldogs began their second straight frozen four against No. 5 Ohio State and continued their stingy defense. For the second time in as many games UMD scored twice in the first and then played back to halt the Buckeye attack. Ohio State could only manage 20 shots in the game with their lone goal coming in the third period on the power play. With only Notre Dame left in their way, the Bulldogs followed virtually the same script that had won them their previous two games; score twice in the first period then hold on for dear life. This time the opposing power play was able to score in the second period but even the No. 2 overall seed Fighting Irish couldn't manage more than 20 shots in the contest. The two teams played a clean third period and the Bulldogs skated away with their second national title.

One of their most notable games of the season came on November 25, 2017 against No. 25 Alabama. During that game, Alabama's bench players left the bench to scuffle with Minnesota players midway through the second half.

While Minnesota was up by as many as 15 points under three-on-five competition, their lead diminished to as little as three points at one point due, in part, to Collin Sexton's 40-point game. However, the Golden Gophers would ultimately win 89–84 over the short-handed Crimson Tide. The game would be considered one of the strangest games in college basketball history.


2017–18 Minnesota Golden Gophers men's basketball team, Regular season, Reggie Lynch suspension

Nike became the official apparel provider of the NBA beginning in the 2017–18 season.

In addition, eight teams received "Classic Edition" throwback uniforms throughout the season. Home teams are now allowed to wear their choice of uniforms, while away teams must wear uniforms that contrast sufficiently with the home team's choice. All uniforms contain Nike branding, making the NBA the last professional sports league in North America to have the manufacturer's logo appear on the team uniforms. Owing to Michael Jordan's ownership of the team, the Charlotte Hornets' apparel is branded under his Nike label Air Jordan.
