“Hartford has a big hockey community and has been wanting a team to really support since the Whalers (now the Carolina Hurricanes) left (in 1997),” UConn junior goalie Rob Nichols said. “We’d love to get this program to where the basketball teams are. This is a school that has done well in a lot of sports, and joining Hockey East last year was a big deal. It’s like a tournament every weekend. The talent level is so high, No. 12 can beat No. 1 on any given night.”

The Huskies rank third in attendance in Hockey East this season, drawing more than 5,200 fans per outing, but there is room for 9,000 at the XL Center in downtown Hartford, 28 miles from the Storrs, CT., campus.
