UConn men’s hockey’s dive into the transfer portal is underway. According to a source, the Huskies added two transfer forwards on Saturday: Yale’s Justin Pearson and Maine’s Adam Dawe.
Both players are coming off down years (six goals, five assists, 11 points for Dawe; three goals, eight assists, 11 points for Pearson) but they each played on teams that ranked in the bottom 10 nationally in Pairwise. The two have proven themselves to be productive earlier in their career — Dawe led Maine in points (five goals, nine assists, 11 points); Pearson was Yale’s second-leading scorer and points-getter in 2019-20 (14 goals, 10 assists, 24 points) — and the Huskies are banking on them regaining that form.
