UConn MHOC 23-24

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...
 
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.

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?

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.

My error. Only 7 teams in the Big Ten. 6 of the 7 are ranked. 7th receiving votes.

This was to be expected. I Lot is a very important commuter lot.
 
All three position previews from Daniel Connolly in one thread:

I was with him. There's a cool new feature back there with the timeline of both programs and all the team photos but otherwise the setup is the same.

That you HurleyMania?
 
I don’t know where to put this or if anyone is interested but Yale currently has $8 standing room tickets available to see #1 BU and the next #1 NHL draft pick on 12/29.

One of the best places to see a game

I hope they figure this out soon. Main campus doesn’t have on street parking or mass transit options available that are plentiful in Downtown Hartford, so we’re much more dependent on their setup in Storrs.

At worst you'll be parking at South Garage which isn't much different from a walk from most XL garages to the inside of the arena

I've been parking at the garage attached to the Hilton since 2015 and there are lots of days in January/February I appreciate the walkway over to XL. Last winter was fairly mild but there are likely going to be some dark, cold, windy nights after games and honestly I'd love to keep the spot in I-Lot.

But we're basically a week out and still no word, so who knows what'll happen.
