Jacobs: Hearty Meal For Hockey Starved State

HC Mike Cavanaugh "Tonight was really an amazing night. It was electric. It was really electric. The last two minutes,
I don't know if I've ever been in that situation, it was hard to hear. The players had a hard time hearing line changes. I was grabbing guys by the shoulders."

Jim Calhoun had spoken to his team on Tuesday. 'He did. He was fantastic,'" Cavanaugh said. "JC said, 'I just want
to let you know something. The last time he spoke to the football team before they played BC they lost like 51-0.'

Unlike others before them, UConn president Susan Herbst and athletic director Manuel, who cut his teeth on
the game as an administrator overseeing hockey at Michigan, were for this move. But it was Malloy who wanted this
program downtown. He played a big, big role.

"It never made any sense to me," Malloy said. "There was an open invitation for UConn to join Hockey East and
there didn't seem to be the desire on the part of UConn to do it. I know all the schools in the league. Why wouldn't
a kid want to play at UConn with all the great sports history UConn has? That quite frankly are a little farther
out than UConn."
