UConn men’s hockey paused all team activities after “a member of the program” tested positive for COVID-19, the school announced Wednesday night. The Huskies will shut down until contact tracing and additional testing can be completed, though no timetable was given.
The Huskies’ upcoming series against Northeastern has been postponed. Their trip to Providence on Jan. 13 will also likely be moved, though Hockey East had not officially announced that matchup.
This is the first time UConn has shut down due to a positive test during the regular season, though head coach Mike Cavanaugh hinted that the team dealt with COVID-19 issues during the preseason.
