UConn men’s hockey would be forgiven if it wasn’t over the moon about returning to play against No. 2 Boston College. The Eagles are 4-0 on the young season and coming off a weekend where it demolished No. 12 Providence by a combined score of 12-0 over two games. The Huskies, meanwhile, have been off for three weeks.
But the opponent doesn’t matter. Mike Cavanaugh’s squad just wants to play a game again.
“I think if we were playing the Boston Bruins we’d be excited,” Cavanaugh said. “Honestly, our players are just dying to play a hockey game and Boston College is a great team and they’ve had a great tradition and program for a long time, but our players are just excited to play a game.
