While some players were in class — the ceremony was held at 11 a.m. on Friday — UConn men’s hockey also has a significant portion of its team in COVID protocols. The Huskies’ last two series of the first half were postponed because they didn’t have enough players available to meet Hockey East’s requirement of 15 skaters and two goaltenders. On Friday, Cavanaugh provided more details. “We had started with one (positive test) and went to two or three but because of the protocols, you have to wait five days and close contacts get tested, and then all of a sudden it jumped to six and now we’re testing the whole team and it gets to a point where we couldn’t meet the Hockey East protocols to field a team to play last week and obviously this week either,” he said. As a result, UConn won’t play again until Jan. 2 at Harvard. “We’ll get through it. It was an unfortunate situation and certainly I don’t think as bad as last year,” he said “I feel pretty confident that we’ll be healthy for the second half.” <- [/QUOTE]
