UConn WHOC 2025-26

I wish they could hit more I know they can hit if they are playing the puck but they just should let them finish their checks!
Technically that is incorrect. But the refs do let a certain amount go.
 


-> (13) St. Cloud State at (12) Connecticut

This battle of Huskies showed exactly why the teams are so closely ranked as they split a pair of 2-1 games this weekend. UConn scored first on Megan Woodworth’s breakaway, ending SCSU’s season-opening 130-minute shutout streak. St. Cloud responded a few minutes later when Raili Mustonen was alone in front of the net to tap in Avery Farrell’s pass from behind the net and make it a 1-1 game. Julianne Labbé scored in the opening minutes of the 3rd on a two-on-one breakway with Payton Holloway. The St. Cloud defense closed up, allowing just six shots from UConn in the final frame and Emilia Kyrkkö made 35 total saves to lead SCSU to the 2-1 win. On Saturday, Tia Chan made 36 saves and Connecticut took advantage of special teams opportunities, scoring twice on the power play to take a 2-1 win and earn a split. Brooke Campbell scored midway through the first to make it 1-0 UConn. Sydney Bryant scored her first career goal on a penalty shot in the second awarded when a Connecticut player covered the puck in the crease. But Lily Dewar added her own power play goal and that proved enough to give UConn the win. Connecticut also made 27 blocks in the game. <-

Zero points between Murdoch, Pellerin, and Allard is a bit of a surprise 4 games into the season. They will have to get it going to alleviate some pressure off of Chan. OTH, the seniors have really picked up the slack.

I think opposing teams have likely been keying on them.

In the absence of body checking, the women’s game will continue to be “just” the women’s game. A former UConn women’s captain told me she did not want body checking because “then you would have to keep your head up while skating.”

I love the UConn women, but………….

I am fine without it. The current situation emphasizes speed and skill rather than size which is less important than in the men's game. I am going to say something that is quite retro, but I like women hockey players the size they are now. My apologies to those that find my views on this subject unevolved.

If you buy in advance, $8 tickets, $5 for seniors/youths for the women’s game. BUT $10 to park? How to alienate your fan base!
Pretty sure it’s cheaper than MBB/WBB/MHOC and same price as Soccer/Volleyball.

Expectations of free game-day parking when revenue generation is critical to athletic department success in this day and age is unrealistic. $15-$18 for ticket and eye sight of rink parking is a bargain in my opinion.

48 saves for Chan in today’s win! Tied her career high.
