When UConn men’s hockey travels up to Boston University for a two-game series this weekend, it’ll serve as a homecoming for forward Ty Amonte, who spent the previous five seasons with the Terriers.
This won’t just be any transfer playing against his former team. Amonte comes from a BU family: His brother Tristan is a sophomore on the Terriers while his dad, NHL legend Tony Amonte, played there from 1989-91.
Ty Amonte knows this isn’t just another game, even if he’s trying to treat it as such.
“It’s definitely a game that I’ve had circled on my calendar for a long, long time and I’m just really excited,” he said after UConn’s win over Ohio State, before switching gears.
