He kept Slovakia in games they had no business being in during that tournament. By far their best player while facing a ton of shots.

He's gonna be nice replacement for Nichols. Looks like a big kid in the net. Nichols is gonna be a senior right?
I'm guessing Nichols will still get most of the playing time, but I'm sure Huska will be in there 1 game during a wknd series. Nichols seemed pretty bad @ times playing back to back.

Maybe UConn playing in the same building as the Wolfpack was a major selling point.[/QUOTE]
He'll have more fans seeing him @ UConn games than if he gets promoted to the AHL. The wolfpack may be in Bridgeport/Albany/Nassau by the time he's mature enough to get called up

Its going to be very interesting how Cavanaugh plays this.
The three goalies on the roster cannot be too pleased but Huska is a major upgrade in talent.
Huska was my number one wish for UConn's next goalie.
Huska's commitment is at least on par, probably bigger, than Letunov's commitment. The key is to make noise while they are both on the roster together with Thompson. However long that will be.

If you remember back to when Thulin signed...he was a non-scholarship kid signed to provide depth. Creel was brought in to back-up Nichols. Nichols is the Number 1...and Huska will come in to compete with the other two. IMHO competition will be good, and this significantly upgrades the talent in net.

Is Cavanaugh going to have a better goalie sitting behind Nichols for a year? I do not think it would be fair to the rest of the team. It is a tough spot with Nichols being a senior.
UConn will probably have Letunov and Thompson at the most for two more seasons, possibly only one more. The team has to take advantage of having those two on the top line and Huska in net.

You bring up some really good points Mac. Nichols split time with Matt Grogan when he was a freshman...maybe that's what happens here. It will be interesting to see the strength development of the sophomore class as well. Contrary to what some posters have said on here...it's clear with these past 3 recruiting classes that this staff can definitely recruit HE caliber kids.

Gotta think this will help, not hurt Nichols next year. The added competition will help raise his game and this will also allow him to stay fresh the entire year.

LOL..you'll be waiting for a long time...he and his alternate screen name HuskyCamper have joined the likes of HFD in the banned from The Boneyard group. It would be interesting to see his take on this though. He was adamant that Cav and his staff couldn't recruit.

Listed as a Hockey News prospect to watch.
Adam Huska, G (NY Rangers): He’s been one of the top goaltenders in junior this season and now the USHL Green Bay star has a home for the future. Huska just committed to UConn, giving the Huskies a big starting netminder with game-stealing capacity.
