UConn men’s hockey stayed hot on the recruiting trail, landing three more commitments after pulling in a pair last week. ‘02 defenseman Thomas Messineo, ‘04 forward Joey Muldowney and ‘05 Charlie Lewinski all pledged to the Huskies. Messineo will come to Storrs next season while Muldowney and Lewinski are still a few years away.
Messineo is a native of Westwood, Massachusetts and currently plays in the BCHL with the Chilliwack Chiefs, where he has one goal and six assists in 11 games this season. Listed at 5-foot-11, 198 pounds with a left-handed shot, Messineo is an “explosive skater” with “electric feet” and “huge upside”, according to a source.
