UConn Players in the Pros

Ryan Tverberg got his 1st pro goal and assist Sunday for the Toronto Marlies!
We could use some goals vs. Union this weekend.
 
On Nov. 14, a skate blade sliced the through the top of Sabres center Tage Thompson’s skate through the tongue and his cut-resistant sock.

“Cut pretty deep, cut a tendon in my foot,” Thompson said prior to Saturday’s 3-2 shootout loss to the Montreal Canadiens in KeyBank Center. “Figured if a blade could through all that stuff, the more layers the better.”

So Thompson, who returned to that game last month before suffering a hand injury, sported neck protection – a shirt with a Kevlar neck – for the first time Saturday. He started wearing cut-resistant wrist guards this season and has been using the socks for years.

“(Cuts have) been a lot more frequent recently, I don’t know why that is,” he said. “The game’s so fast, too. You never know what could happen. You get into a vulnerable position and guys move so fast out there, it’s better to be safe.”

“I feel like why not, right?” said Thompson, who tested his guard out Saturday morning. “You never know. You never think it can happen to you until it does. So if it feels comfortable on me and it doesn’t really bother me or affect the way I play, why not wear it?”

Ryan Twerberg skated on the 1st line for the Toronto Marlies this weekend vs the Wolfpack. Marlies won in OT. The place was crazy with lots of kids for the Sunday afternoon game. It was mascot day or something. Lots of enthusiasm downtown. Not a bad idea for the Huskies to replicate. It wouldn’t hurt to build the brand for families.

We seem to be shouting into the abyss when we ask the athletic department to actually market hockey to the masses. They seem content with what they have.
 
Ryan Tverberg scored 4 goals tonight for the Toronto Marlies

He’s playing excellent this season. 18 points in 17 games in his rookie season after missing 6 weeks with an injury
