After a convincing sweep of Vermont in its opening weekend, UConn men’s hockey came in at No. 20 in this week’s USCHO Top 20 Poll. The Huskies have now been ranked in each of the last three seasons, though this is the earliest they’ve ever been in the polls.
UConn opened its season with a 4-1 win on Saturday night followed by a 3-1 victory on Sunday. This is the first time the Huskies have opened a new campaign with a sweep since 2016-17, when it defeated Alabama-Huntsville by a combined score of 10-0.
Prior to this week, UConn had only been receiving votes.
