UConn men’s hockey junior Ryan Tverberg signed a future entry-level contract with the Toronto Maple Leafs. The deal, worth an average of $851,667 annually, will kick in at the start of next season, so he’ll finish the 2022-23 campaign on a professional tryout with the AHL Toronto Marlies.
“The Maple Leafs organization is very thankful to the University of Connecticut,” Maple Leafs general manager Kyle Dubas said in a statement. “Ryan’s development through his three seasons with the Huskies and subsequent signing today is a testament to the tireless work of head coach Mike Cavanaugh and all the staff within the UConn men’s hockey program.
