As much as I love hockey, basketball pays the bills. Hockey should be 4th fiddle behind Football, men’s basketball, and women’s basketball.

Agreed. I was referencing winter sports only, hence the exclusion of top dog football.

Any news on CT ICE? I'm a season ticket holder but don't know if we get an allotment at Sacred Heart, I haven't seen any communication. Seems to be common theme about this tournament. I guess I should contact my ticket rep...

Cav said UConn is playing at Colorado College next season (wants to play one western team per season), important to play an Atlantic Hockey series, likes playing an Ivy (playing Harvard next season), likes playing the Christmas tournaments

Muldowney said Tattle was just chosen as an assistant captain

Are there any specific UConn sections for these games?
 
Sorry if this has come up in the past, but does anyone know why UConn always plays more league games early than any other HE team? Seems like we always have 2 or 3 more games played in HE than anyone else. Happens each season. Always assumed it was related to XL availability in the past, but obviously that should not matter now.

There has never been a really convincing reason given. Could it be these National juniors teams? The top teams in HE are always at risk of losing several players for a couple of weeks when those tournaments are played. One year it was PC that was hit hard. This year it was BC and BU. BU lost to Yale 7-5 during that tournament this year. The only time I remember losing anyone to this situation was Tage one time and Mathew Wood one year. A couple of our international players may have also gone to play for their respective countries. Probably not the reason, but as good as any others I’ve heard. To contrast this, the Women’s side of HE have all played 15 or 16 league games at this point.

This years numbers:US team only. I’m sure others represented their country.
BC-6
BU-3
PC-1

I suspect they did it this way back when the facility availability was an issue and they’re just too lazy to change it. Big East does the same thing - the MBB schedule order tends to be very similar year over year

I would suggest calling the UConn ticket office for an accurate answer. They are always quite helpful.

Pleasant surprises thus far in the 2024-2025 campaign:

1) Leading the nation in Shorthanded goals. Even with the likes of Ryan Tverberg, the Huskies haven't had 7 Shorthanded goals over 3-4 seasons let alone a little more than half way through the season.
2) Team Speed
3) Strong Goaltending. Love Tung - he could be the next Devon Levi - styles are similar and he sees the puck really well.
4) Better discipline overall. There isn't a major penalty taken what seemed to be every game last season

Definitely their quickest team ever. It has allowed them to be much more aggressive pressuring all three zones. At times they have really caught opponents flat footed. It has stood out to me all season.

a win at maine would be huge for pairwise I would think. Hell a tie would probably help considering it's a road game, but I'm no genius on the inner workings of the pairwise.
Have to feel the kids go in confident.
