Good read:
-> “When I first met him, I was like, ‘how is this kid going to play in this league?' Cavanaugh said. “I went to Vancouver and watched him play and he was a good player, but I saw him off the ice and said, ‘he’s going to get killed in this league. There’s nothing to him.”
True, Schandor, 5 feet 9 and 175, is a bit undersized and, even at 24 could pass for a member of the 1980s Hollywood “Brat Pack” as easily as a fit for one of the toughest hockey conferences in America. But he was willing to bet on himself, coming to UConn on a partial scholarship, and now as a grad student and a captain, and he is two points away from becoming the program’s most productive player since it joined Hockey East in 2014... <-
… And this past weekend, as Schandor passed 100 career points with a goal in each game and assists on three others in the Huskies’ home-and-home sweep of New Hampshire, Cavanaugh called him “the epitome of a UConn hockey player” <-
