UConn men’s hockey’s incoming freshman class is official. The Huskies will add six players to the program — five forwards and one defenseman. The class also features a mix of local players, a couple Canadians, another Russian and, of course, the token prep school player.
Now that the players have all signed, head coach Mike Cavanaugh is finally allowed to publicly comment on the class. He spoke to The UConn Blog by phone earlier this week to break it down:
No. 9 Cassidy Bowes — Forward — Sturgeon County, Alberta
Originally committed to Michigan, Bowes was “derailed by injuries the past two years,” as Cavanaugh put it and eventually re-opened his recruiting process.
