Building and continuously rebuilding a college sports program is easily the greatest challenge that every coaching staff faces.<\/p>\n

Success, particularly in college hockey, often leads to NHL teams taking notice and players being snatched prior to the conclusion of their four-year college career, often leaving significant holes in a lineup.<\/p>\n

Three years ago, Connecticut coach Mike Cavanaugh faced exactly that.<\/p>\n

After taking over as head coach in 2014, Cavanaugh watched his first full recruiting class graduate. The 2017-18 Huskies team finished fifth in Hockey East, winning 15 games, the most since the program moved to Hockey East. In the playoffs, they fell to the eventual champion, Boston University, in two games, both one-goal contests, the first going to overtime.<\/p>\n

Cavanaugh graduated nine that summer while his top scorer Maxim Letunov and well-thought-of defenseman Joe Masonius both turned professional.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat year, I thought we really made a breakthrough as a program,\u201d said Cavanaugh. \u201cWe lost [11] players and we brought in a real big [recruiting] class.\u201d<\/p>\n

It was a feeling that was familiar to Cavanaugh.<\/p>\n

As an assistant at Boston College, he recalled the 2001 national championship team that lost eight players to graduation and three more to the NHL. While this may have been a smaller scale at UConn, the feelings as a coach were similar.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs good of hockey players as they are, when they\u2019re asked to come in as freshmen and play really big roles and big minutes, it\u2019s hard,\u201d Cavanaugh. \u201cIt\u2019s hard to ask them to play the roles and be successful as a team, I don\u2019t care how good your players are.\u201d<\/p>\n

The members of that freshman class from 2018 are now juniors and having a massive impact on Cavanaugh\u2019s Huskies team. None was that more apparent than last weekend when four of those juniors shined brightly in UConn\u2019s two-game sweep of New Hampshire that brought the team to .500 at 5-5-1 overall and a .545 percentage of total points won in Hockey East.<\/p>\n

In the series opener, Carter Turnbull was the hero, notching a hat trick, including the game-winning goal in 3-on-3 overtime. On Saturday, classmate Jonny Evans notched two goals to go along with his goal and assist on Friday.<\/p>\n

And throughout the weekend, fellow Czech countrymen and junior classmates Jachym Kondelik (five assists) and Tomas Vomacka (two wins, 49 saves in two games) were elite as well.<\/p>\n

The progress is something Cavanaugh has seen from this class, which also includes key contributors Roman Kinal, Marc Gatcomb, Kale Howarth, Ryan Wheeler and John Wojciechowski, since the end of their freshman campaign.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy the end of their freshman year, we won five games down the stretch to finish,\u201d Cavanaugh said. \u201cLast year, I think they took even more strides as players. We had our first winning record in Hockey East.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow they\u2019re in the role of leadership. They\u2019re used to my expectations for the team. They understand how we want to do things here as a program. I think it a lot of ways, they\u2019re a lot more comfortable in the experience to lead in those situations.\u201d<\/p>\n

Offensively, the junior class has been a strong contributor. Led by Evans 13 points in 11 games (six goals, seven assists), the class represents four of the top five scorers on the team. And in net, Vomacka, who has been considered a solid goaltender over his three years, has taken a major step forward this season.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think the thing that [Vomacka] has worked on, he\u2019s always been super athletic and that\u2019s been his calling card, and he would rely on his athleticism to make saves. Now he\u2019s a more efficient goaltender,\u201d Cavanaugh said. \u201cIf he\u2019s not making athletic saves, he\u2019s probably playing better. I think he\u2019s really worked hard at his positional play, staying more positionally sound and use his athleticism when he absolutely has to.\u201d<\/p>\n

It is experience that Cavanaugh will call upon as this team moves forward, hoping to position itself for a top-four spot and home ice in Hockey East.<\/p>\n

\u201cThree years ago, not only were we one of the youngest teams, we were the least experienced team in the league,\u201d Cavanaugh said. \u201cWe didn\u2019t have a lot of guys with college hockey games under their belts.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s more important that age to me. That\u2019s something you\u2019re going to see teams that don\u2019t have that type of experience struggle at times, and we did that year.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut struggle is good. It\u2019s going to make your stronger when you get through it on the other end.\u201d<\/p>\n

Boston University finding success after a long wait<\/h4>\n

While multiple teams have had stops and starts to this hockey season, perhaps no team had the difficulty of waiting than did Boston University.<\/p>\n

Because of a university mandate, the Terriers weren\u2019t allowed to play their first game until after the New Year, finally opening their season on January 8 with a 7-3 loss to then-No. 16 Providence.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s times that you can\u2019t play, and you can\u2019t control that,\u201d said BU coach Albie O\u2019Connell. \u201cThe want [of the players] was always there. The guys just want to play hockey.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur senior class is the glue. We\u2019ve got 14 sophomores and freshmen. And these guys have been pretty even about the entire thing, knowing we\u2019d eventually get the opportunity to play.\u201d<\/p>\n

O\u2019Connell admits that the most important aspect to getting through three months without games wasn\u2019t staying in game shape or sharp on the ice. It wasn\u2019t necessarily even keep the bodies well tuned.<\/p>\n

It was about maintain the players\u2019 minds.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019ve had a good calm, mental approach,\u201d said O\u2019Connell. \u201c[Not playing] could drive you crazy if you don\u2019t stay even. Mentally, that\u2019s where the leadership comes in of guys being patient.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s hasn\u2019t been perfect. But the fact that we\u2019re able to play two consecutive weekends is good.\u201d<\/p>\n

Since that loss to Providence to open, BU has responded with three straight wins, including a two-game series sweep against nationally-ranked Massachusetts this past Sunday and Monday. That\u2019s a positive sign for O\u2019Connell moving forward.<\/p>\n

\u201cOverall, I was pretty excited about the effort, the competitiveness and attention to detail when we haven\u2019t been on the ice that much,\u201d O\u2019Connell said. \u201cGuys are listening and performing at a high level despite all the circumstance, it\u2019s been a pleasure to watch.\u201d<\/p>\n

Throw out those Hockey East schedules<\/h4>\n

It was announced on Tuesday by the league that the composite league schedule released prior to the season is being abandoned and substituted with a week-to-week series that will be decided upon by the league office prior to each week.<\/p>\n

Under the new plan, coaches and athletic directors will be given some initial guidance to their opponents on Monday morning, according to the league. Then based on logistics to figure out game times and locations, the league will finalize the schedule each Tuesday. That doesn\u2019t mean, still, that every game will be played as COVID testing still dictates each team\u2019s availability that weekend.<\/p>\n

The reasoning has to do with balance and equity. While multiple programs have been paused or stopped and started due to either school\/state regulations or cases of COVID within the programs, those that have been able to play have been scheduling games ad hoc.<\/p>\n

The league already announced in late November that all games this season would count towards the league standings. And because of that, there is now a great disparity in numbers of games that have been played. UMass has played 15 times; UMass Lowell and BU have played just four.<\/p>\n

While certainly there will be an effort to help teams lacking in games played catch up to others, the league will also use this change to the scheduling format to ensure that schools that have already played a higher number of games isn\u2019t sitting out multiple weekends in a row.<\/p>\n

Certainly, it\u2019s a strange approach but seems necessary. The league can help become a logistics clearinghouse working with available schools each weekend to find ways to maximize the schedules in a fair and equitable way for each and every team.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
