UConn Players in the Pros

Comments from the Courant’s Dom Amore’s Sunday Read column today:

-> *UConn’s Marc Gatcomb, who joined the Islanders’ organization this season, was summoned off the ice during the morning skate with Bridgeport of the AHL and sent up to New York on an emergency basis when a flu bug hit Jean-Gabriel Pageau among others on the team.

After taking his “rookie lap” before Tuesday’s game against Ottawa, Gatcomb, 25, flipped the puck over the glass to his parents, who drove down from Massachusetts. He played 7 1/2 minutes with the fourth line, and was returned to Bridgeport, where he has nine goals and eight assists. He’s the ninth UConn player to reach the NHL.

“I thought he had a really good start. That line had some energy at the beginning,” coach Patrick Roy told reporters afterward. “I thought he did a really, really nice job. He was physical, he was good for his first game. <-

Do you really think a guy who played his first travel team game at Bolton Ice Palace doesn’t remember Tage from his days at UConn? I’m also a Milford resident so Tage is my guy.

Ah, Milford. Spent a few happy hours there watching my kids. No, it wasn't obvious to me that you were being facetious. Yeah, the BIP. All the Bolton kids started there. I think you mentioned you played there once. I had forgotten that.
