UConn MHOC 22-23

Even more odd about the potential transfer of Shlaine is he’s got big time PT available and a new arena on the horizon and all that comes with it.
 
Senior Maine forward Adam Dawe following UConn Hockey twitter. He is in the transfer portal.

11 points last season.

They need to (embrace portal)there is a lot of talent and leadership leaving and you can’t fill that with freshman and not expect to take a major step backwards while they acclimate to college game.

Wow. I wasn't concerned earlier but I am now. I would hope Connelly has the inside scoop.
 
Seriously this is just bizarre as hell.
Plenty of playing time to go around and a new arena about to open.
What the hell is going on. There’s no way Cav is gently pushing these guys out, right?
We are ten days removed from the high point of the program for crissakes.

Welcome to the new world… programs across the country have kids entering the portal on a daily basis. Some may end up back after seeing what options are available to them and others will head off for a change of scenery.

The college football world has been experiencing this since the transfer portal came into existence a few years ago (?2018). College hockey is just catching up albeit w/ smaller rosters.

But kids generally don’t leave the program if they have PT staring them right on the face. Usually it’s the opposite. How many forwards at this point HAVENT left via graduating, the pros or transfers?
We have a new arena opening, are in a good conference, and these are kids who have multiple years left. It’s not like these kids entering the portal have one year left and want to hitch on to a program that will go far in a rebuild year for us

Not sure about hockey but kids in basketball and football leave all the time despite getting tons of PT and looking at PT in the future as well
 
Not really surprised with Berger. He had a couple of crucial turnovers in a game ( can't remember which one) and he was benched the next game, and Aiden Metcalfe played in his place. The other thing that doesn't help is both Karachik and Rigali transferred and both played in the frozen four. I mean, we were one goal away from making it too, so I am concerned.
 
I don’t know how to read the portal right now. Grad transfers is one thing but you sort of need to see where guys end up. Shlaine and Telguine are disappointments to me. I though both had talent, but we’ll see where they end up. You also are not party to what goes on between player and coach and if somebody was “advised” to look elsewhere. But to me it looks like we need scorers and a couple of dmen

Good addition, but highly dependent on his health. Will add experienced leadership.

But he had more than one season-ending injury at BU and was consistently hurt in between. Most of it was bad luck, some of it was a bit of a reckless style of play.
 
So his brother still plays at BU and his father may go to coach at BU - and he’s leaving to play at UConn.
Interesting

There's no chance Tony is hired at BU. That rumor was started by a random local reporter who had a source - that reporter later admitted the source was completely wrong.

Ty transferred because BU doesn't have scholarship $ (or space on the roster) for him in a 6th year. He was recruited to UConn by Joe Pereira because there's space, and presumably scholarship $, available. Ty's 6th year was completely unexpected because it involved getting the NCAA to approve an injury waiver. He's already used his extra Covid year this past season.
