When UConn men’s hockey takes the ice next season, there’s going to be plenty of new faces. The Huskies graduated nine seniors while also losing defenseman Joe Masonius and forward Max Letunov from the program’s best season in the Hockey East era.

“We’re excited about the class,” Cavanaugh said at the Travelers’ Championship Pro-Am on Wednesday. “He’s certainly a really good player and we’ve got a lot of other good forwards and defenseman to complement him as well.
