2020-2021 UConn Men's Hockey

Couple things.
Sucks to lose him but with 8 or 9 kids on the team with links to NHL teams you figure you will lose at least 1-2 a year

Assumed Vomacka was gone especially with the Union goalie transferring in and the prospect we landed recently. Sounds like its not definite though?

Any chance Karashik comes back? Everyone had an extra year if they wanted in hockey as well? I know the other sports that's the case. Wonder if he's already looking to get paid. He would be incredible to hold onto for one more year.

It’s that time of year...

 

[Sea Goat]

The fact that he has that option coming from our program helps with the new talent pool...

Adam Karashik to the transfer portal per Mark Divver on twitter. Is this guy reliable?

Seemed there was some chatter about him possibly using his free year @ UConn. Be interesting to see where he ends up... wonder if someone opened a channel/path to him.

I'm curious why he wants to leave - although we may never hear why, who knows. Losing him and Kuznetsov is really a tough blow to the blue line.

Very surprising.

Ct native, senior captain, program improving every year. Chance to play in front of good sized crowds again next fall.
I dont get him transferring to another school but I just cant imagine he would stay in conference. That would be a huge slap in the face.

It’s definitely a head scratcher. He seemed pretty happy with UConn Hockey and visa versa.

Kinda weird that UConn Blog hasn’t picked up on it. Dan Connolly is usually all over the team.

I can’t find any reference to Karashik in Divvers Twitter feed. Did he maybe delete the tweet? I’ve seen no other news on this. Hoping this is a false alarm.

Thanks...musta missed it....crap. Was hoping he had deleted it. Still, with no confirmation, I’m holding out some hope it’s bad info.

Nothing on his Instagram

The Grand Forks Herald had a list of names that had just entered the portal and his name was in fact on it.

Adam Karashik to Notre Dame for final year of eligibility:

Blah....I still don’t understand this.

 

[huskymedic]

Blah....I still don’t understand this.

I don't begrudge anyone who goes through an open door for their future (I'm also assuming Grad School is on tap). He gave UConn 4 solid years.

 

[JeannoCT]

Sorry to see him go - wish him the best but Notre Dame?? UGH

You'd rather BC?

 

[JeannoCT]

You'd rather BC

No! Something in Minnesota would be good.
I'm just having trouble with this. But I understand the benefit of a Notre Dame degree.

Doesn’t mean I have to like it. I do wish him well though.
