#14 UConn v. Merrimack Warriors (Friday 12/5/25 @7p @Lawler Rink & Saturday 12/6/25 @4p @Toscano Family Ice Forum. Both games on ESPN+

[Sea Goat]

A great weekend sweep good job UConn to finish four games above .500 and be in first place in the conference!

Nothing like a sweep to allow you to enjoy a 31/2 week break. To top it off, finish the semester strong in the classroom too! And BTW, the RICHARD is fully awake now!!!

If you had told me after the Stonehill tie that 10 days later, we would still be in first in hockey east and up to 19 in NPI, I would not believe it.
Having muldowney and even Scott healthy makes a huge difference

Borek is a absolute joke, enjoy the ride home bud

I was watching on my phone, but it looked like a lengthy conversation btw Cav and Borek? Anybody hear what was said??

I was there. Couldn't hear what was said, but clearly Borek initiated the conversation with visibly angry body language.

That's what I saw. Just curious what he said.

He wished Coach Cav and his family a very Merry Christmas 😉

He might’ve been pissed off about the guy who sits behind the visitor bench who was yelling at the Merrimack bench the entire game. Some pretty rude stuff. He actually got called out by a couple of Merrimack fans and kind of calmed down after that. Let’s just say that the stuff he was yelling was not complementary and was, I feel, entirely unnecessary.

 

[JeannoCT]

He’s been a problem for years. I’ve sat in front of him for a couple of years and requested a seat change.

 

[Brunoblue]

That guy is an embarrassment. I sit in an adjacent section and seat mates in my area are sick of it… he’s way too old for that behavior. These are college kids for crying out loud, shut up! I wish some UConn officials would step up and straighten him out.
Great win for our boys. 6 point weekends are rare. As happy as I am with the wins I think a better opponent would have pounced on some of those loose pucks in front of Moose- we’ve got to clean that up.
Outstanding forechecking and hustle on every shift, it’s like Spetz and Shandor never left!
Keep that spirit bottled until Dec 31and uncork it for the second half of the season!

When he got called out, he played the tough guy for a minute, but then he shut up. The Merrimack fans had had enough of him.

If he doesn’t modify his behavior, rescind his season tickets. He’s an embarrassment to the university and its hockey program. AD Dave needs to man-up on this before we develop a reputation as a renegade hockey fanbase.

Bomber36. Viet Vet’s wife has a word for you:

Enjoyed talking to you. Family times have changed over the years, but the connections are still important.

 

[SubbaBub]

Report him to the venue, they will take care of him quickly if he's annoying home fans. It would take about 3 before he's banned.

I also enjoyed the conversation.

Is the person behind the bench the same person who yells at the beginning of the national anthem? I think that is disrespectful.

It is.

UConn finishes off sweep over Merrimack with 5-2 win

With the victory, the Huskies claim all nine points in the season series with the Warriors.

www.uconnhockeyhub.com

“With the win, UConn improves to 9-5-3 overall and 7-3-1 in Hockey East — good for first place in the league standings. Next, the Huskies will head into the winter break and don’t return to action until Dec. 31, when they take on LIU at Toscano Family Ice Forum”

 

[FfldCntyFan]

I could be wrong but it seems every year we play more earlier conference games than the rest of the conference and are always two or three games played ahead of the rest of the conference until the last few weeks of the season.

Does anyone know if this is by our design or the conference's.

-> Hockey East announced Monday that Merrimack junior forward Luke Weilandt has been suspended for one game stemming from an incident at the 20-minute mark of the third period on Saturday, Dec. 6, against UConn.

On the play, Weilandt was assessed a 10-minute misconduct and a game misconduct.<-

 

[JeannoCT]

The article doesn't say what he did - so what did he do??

 

[Brunoblue]

I went back and watched the end of the game again. The kid, Weilandt, #25 was on the ice during Merrimack’s penalty kill. When time ran out he instigated the scrum that quickly involved several other players. Looks like he’s the only player who was penalized.

Thanks. Finally found a website that said he cross-checked someone at the end of the game.
