UConn men’s hockey is into the winter break following the most successful first half in program history. The Huskies are 8-6-0 — their most wins ever at this point in the calendar — despite nine of 14 games coming on the road. They’ve played good, consistent hockey and haven’t showed many weak spots.
The biggest disappointment has nothing to do with the team’s play. UConn’s last four games were postponed because of a COVID outbreak in the program, sending the Huskies into the break two weeks earlier than expected.
But as a whole, it’s hard for head coach Mike Cavanaugh to be anything but pleased.
