It’s officially one month until UConn men’s hockey begins its 2021-22 campaign. The Huskies will host Sacred Heart on Oct. 2 at the XL Center — for what will be their first game downtown in 583 days.
Although the players returned to campus this past weekend along with the rest of the student body, UConn won’t start practice until Tuesday, Sep. 7 — head coach Mike Cavanaugh likes to give the team a week to settle in and get a head start on the new semester before opening the preseason.
This is the first time the entire squad has been together since leaving for the summer.
