Each offseason, UConn men’s hockey coach Mike Cavanaugh asks each outgoing senior for ideas during their exit meeting. This past year, Carter Turnbull had one that stuck with Cavanaugh.
“Carter Turnbull came to me over the summer and said, ‘Coach, I’ve been thinking about what you were saying. With the way the transfer portal is now, I think it might make sense to hold another vote for captain because I think last year, there was a couple of transfers who might have been great leaders on our team and we had already voted for captain and they didn’t have a chance to be a leader on our team,’” Cavanaugh relayed.
