UConn MHOC 23-24

[husky8273]

Hope we can see the lines (clearly) this year. Last season.................meh.

I'm hoping for major improvements to Toscano this season. #1,2,3..................... improved sight lines.
#4,5,6.......................dump the Student Deck (see #1,2,3). #7,8,9..................more (and improved) food stations.
#10,11,12.......................Real Beer (light beer s***s) and wine for my wife ("please").

did any of these improvements happen?

Assisted access <<

-> The Huskies, too, have an influx of talent from Connecticut, including freshmen Bauer Swift from West Hartford and Oliver Flynn from Wolcott, sophomore’s Jake Black from Pomfret and Jake Percival (12 points) from Avon, juniors Mark D’Agostino from North Branford, Jake Veilleux from South Windsor and Nick Capone (18 points) from East Haven.

“The program has continued to grow over the 10 years I’ve been here,” Cavanaugh said, “where in the past, I don’t know if it was a viable option for kids, or if they felt it was a competitive option to come to UConn if they wanted to compete for a Hockey East trophy. I think that narrative has certainly changed. If you grew up in this state, you’re passionate about the University of Connecticut and the ability play here is very attractive to a lot of local kids.” <-

Dan Connolly is a must follow:

UConn likely to start the season with a rotation at goaltender

Plus, the Huskies' need for nicknames and a report from Tuesday's practice.

UConn named as a team that just missed the cut along with Providence

2023-24 CHN Preseason Top 10

The more things change, the more things stay the same. That should be true, at least for the top of the college hockey food chain. Four top-five teams in our preseason top-10 were in last year's Frozen...

With eight of our first ten games on the road, we'll have a big opportunity to build Pairwise points early.

How Vince Stalletti's role will change as a full-time assistant

While Stalletti will continue working with the goalies, they won't be his only responsibility anymore.

Good point, wish they would've scheduled better opponents though. Union & Holy Cross back-to-back isn't the best, based on last year's pairwise.

Due to "high demand" all games at Toscano are sold out.

If by high demand you mean, we sold out all 47 seats in the arena for the season, then sure.

I had complained in a previous thread that I thought Toscano tix were non existent and I believe I was told I was wrong. Looks like I'm right. As a Toscano donor it saddens me.

Dan Connolly is a must follow:

Completely agree, and I'm not just saying that because we're family. He's got national flag blue blood in those veins. He does a great job with WBB as well.

We need to take care of business early. Wish we had some BIG 10 match-ups to gauge our talent.
I hope Cav is working on getting more October games vs them in the future.

Doesn't work that way - most early games are against teams that don't help us pairwise (can only hurt).
Need to start very strong - no slip ups...

 

[Sea Goat]

I don't know. BTW, have any season ticketholders received your mobile tickets yet? I have not.

Like the Shadow, the Husky Medic knows...

The goal should be to make it to Boston for the Big East tournament. That will be a very difficult task this year with how stacked BU and BC are. Not to mention NU and PC. Should be a fun year.

Got mine today!

UConn’s first 8 of 10 games are on the road but they are against Colgate, Holy Cross, Union, Lowell and Vermont.

Hopefully, UConn can manage to go minimum 7-3 in that stretch. 8-2 might be getting greedy but it’s definitely possible.

UConn will once again be rotating goaltenders. This season it will be between Haider and Sergeev.
Looking forward to Hockey East this season.

BU and BC are stacked. BU ranked #1, BC #6.

BU has the likely #1 pick in the 2024 NHL draft, Macklin Celebrini, and just flipped the commitment of probably the #2 pick in the 2024 NHL draft, Cole Eiserman. Eiserman will not arrive until next season though.

Maine is my pick for the surprise team in Hockey East.

Any word on season ticketholder parking at Toscano?

Any word on season ticketholder parking at Toscano?

I checked in with my ticket rep last week and two things seem true so far: 1) parking won’t be free like last year 2) just because you had parking close to Toscano last year doesn’t mean you’ll keep the same lot.

They were “working” on the parking situation, he promised to keep me updated, etc etc.

Agree. The women just had a series with Penn State and are playing a series against Minnesota too.

The 8 team Big Ten has 6 of their 7 teams ranked in the top 20 and the 8th team, Wisconsin, is receiving votes.

The power of the Big Ten NIL has arrived in hockey.

In a 16 team field NCAA tournament, the Big Ten will in all likelihood have annually at least a quarter of the field.
