University of Connecticut Men's Ice Hockey

The 2024-25 hockey season will be the 12th season for head coach Mike Cavanaugh at the helm of the UConn men’s hockey program. Hired in the spring of 2013, Cavanaugh is looking to have the Huskies bounce back following a 15-19-2 overall season. Prior to last season, Cavanaugh had the Huskies coming off back-to-back 20-win seasons and the head coach is set to lead UConn into the future after agreeing to a new six-year contract in May 2022. Coach Cavanaugh saw UConn through the transition to Hockey East, the toughest hockey conference in the country, and has the program set to take the next step with the Huskies moving into their new state-of-the-art, on-campus arena in January. Each season has seen a new set of “firsts” for the UConn program under Cavanaugh’s guidance. In 2022-23 the Huskies achieved their highest ranking in program history as they reached No. 6 in the USCHO.com poll and finished the year with 20 wins for the second straight season. The Huskies finished the 2021-22 season ranked No. 19 in the final USCHO.com Top-20 poll after finishing 20-16-0 overall, the first time in program history UConn ended a season ranked in the national polls. For the second-straight season, the Huskies had a player earn All-American honors as sophomore Ryan Tverberg was named a CCM / AHCA All-American. UConn's 20 wins was the highest win total under Cavanaugh and the most wins since his first season in Storrs in 2013-14 (18-14-4). The 20 wins match their highest win total in the Divi
