UConn men’s hockey will take the ice for the first time in less than three months after a very successful 2017-18 season and lots of offseason changes. On Thursday, the Huskies released the slate of opponents for the new campaign.
Hockey East’s schedule changed, eliminating the first round of the conference tournament. This allowed the conference slate to expand by one week, eliminating the need for midweek conference games. UConn does play two Hockey East home games on Thursday against Boston College (Dec. 6) and Northeastern (Feb. 7), but that is because of conflicts with the XL Center’s primary tenant, the American Hockey League’s Hartford Wolf Pack.
