Ahead of UConn men’s hockey’s final regular-season game, head coach Mike Cavanaugh said he hoped the team’s seniors would return for their extra year of eligibility granted by the NCAA to all winter athletes due to the pandemic.
“I’m hoping we can keep some of them (the seniors) for next year,” he said. “With that rule (the extra year of eligibility) going into effect, they’re guys that I’d like to bring back, but that’s going to be their decision.”
Ultimately, the Huskies’ four seniors — defenseman Adam Karashik, forwards Brian Rigali, and Zac Robbins, and goaltender Bradley Stone — have all decided to move on from the program, one way or another.
