Anybody have any ideas if roster cuts are to be made. Sure seems like way to many players and recruits as well

I don't know. I do know that there was a pretty sizable group of guys from the 13-14 team who will not be back. If I remember correctly there were 7 who were under classmen last year who won't be back, plus the 4 seniors who graduated makes 11 spots. But I haven't honestly looked at the current roster.

He hopes to sell out the lower bowl at the XL Center for Hockey East (@ 6000 seats) & that the initial reception was positive with ticket sales well on the way to attaining that goal

Yeah, right. I'll believe that when I see it.

A new recruit.

Over The Boards @OTBPuckWatch
97 F Tage Thompson (@USANTDP) commits to UConn. Huge get for the Huskies; a skilled, 6'2 talent at center who played for PAL last year.

Will Moran @goalmouthradio · 5h
Thompson toured Boston College, New Hampshire, Providence, Northeastern, Brown and Yale. Chose the Huskies.

He's a 16 year old. How is it he was listed as a UConn recruit? He gave some sort of verbal that means next to nothing at that age?

Still a loss for UConn no matter how you look at it.

Good to see UConn Huskies Hockey introduced at the Boise State game today. And that opening series against Penn State is getting close!!

Good article by Mike Anthony about the opening practice in the Courant today:

Kyle Muncy says sweaters should be available in Oct, and seating is done for season ticket holders (my 2 are Sect 103 row F 12 & 13)

If you put a deposit down for season tickets check your statement. They forgot to credit our deposit, and will be sending us a refund.

A brief blurb in the Capital Project Administration September 14th Town Hall Presentation indicated that a 185,000 GSF arena is planned. No additional information provided. I don't know how this proposed arena compares to other hockey arenas in HE. The new proposed student recreational complex is scheduled to be a 200,000 GSF building. It appears that the new arena will be an impressive building.

A 185,000 GSF barn sounds like a 5000 to 6000 seating capacity. QU's TD Bank Barn is 185,000 GSF for both hockey and basketball.

Three days away from the real thing!!! Hard to believe the Hockey East era is finally here, felt like a million years ago the announcement was made. I managed to catch some of the game Sunday. Obviously you can't draw a lot from it, but boy could you already see the difference in talent level. Players were faster and the puck movement was already crisper. Going to be fun to watch this baby develop over the next few seasons.
