UConn men’s hockey coach Mike Cavanaugh signed a new six-year contract worth $3.58 million in addition to team-based performance incentives, the school announced on Thursday. The deal makes him one of the highest-paid head coaches in college hockey.
“I want to thank David Benedict, the Board of Trustees and the leadership at the University of Connecticut for their continued commitment to me and our men’s hockey program,” Cavanaugh said in a release. “We have worked hard to build our program into a Hockey East championship contender and are excited to keep building and working until we raise that first championship banner in our new state-of-the-art facility on campus.
