The 4.2 million dollar facility opened in 1998 and also houses the women’s ice hockey locker room and players’ lounge. The completely enclosed, state-of-the-art Mark Edward Freitas Ice Forum is a year-round facility. The main building totals 53,000 square feet in a 230x230 foot structure. The skating facility includes a National Hockey League regulation 200x85 foot skating surface and a seating capacity of just under 2,000.

Locker Room Players’ Lounge


Weight Room

The strength and conditioning program for the UConn women’s ice hockey team is coordinated and directed by Assistant Strength & Conditioning Coach Maureen Butler. UConn athletes have the use of two different weight rooms in Gampel Pavilion along with the Field House Weight Room, which feature custom made multi-use racks with platforms, dumbbell racks, cable machines and various Cybex Machines.

At the beginning of each season the Huskies hold an annual “Strongwoman Competition” which includes events such as the tire flip, sled pull and ‘Move the Mountain’. The competition takes place in the Mark R. Shenkman Training Center. The 85,000 square foot training center is located on campus and is the most modern facility of its kind in the country.


HUSKIES IN THE COMMUNITY Skating Strides Against Breast Cancer

For the past eight years, Connecticut has joined Hockey East in raising funds for Skating Strides Against Breast Cancer.

UConn has led the entire Hockey East conference in funds raised since the inception of Skating Strides Against Breast Cancer. Over the past eight years the Huskies have raised more than $50,000.


Skate With The Huskies

The UConn women’s ice hockey team continued their annual tradition of hosting a “Skate With The Huskies” event, where kids from the local communities came to select games throughout the season and were able to skate with the team following the contests.

Community Center Painting The 2010-11 UConn women’s ice hockey team also helped out at a local community center this past school year, painting rooms and hallways to give the center an updated look.


Academic Counseling The Counseling Program for Intercollegiate Athletes, a unit within the Division of Academic Affairs, is the academic support program for the University of Connecticut’s 650 studentathletes. The primary goal of the program is to assist student-athletes in reaching their educational goals while they compete in intercollegiate athletics. As academic affairs officers, CPIA counselors function as liaisons between the athletic and academic communities. Sarah MacDonnell 2013 Academic All-Star

C hris M ac Kenzie Head Coach - First Season - Niagara (’00) Chris MacKenzie was named the second head women’s ice hockey coach in program history at the University of Connecticut on May 2. Coming to UConn from Ohio State, MacKenzie brings 11 years of collegiate coaching experience in both the women’s and men’s games. “My family and I are excited to be coming to the UConn family,” stated MacKenzie. “UConn is one of the top public universities in North America, branded with excellence in athletics and I’m excited to get started. “Any change can sometimes be difficult, but I believe the team will be receptive to that change. I just want to come in with a strong work ethic and passion.” Last season, MacKenzie served as the assistant women’s coach at Ohio State. The Buckeyes posted a 19-15-3 and fourth place finish in the WCHA. The 19 wins marked the second best win total in program history and the team reached as high as number six in the USCHO poll; the highest in program history. “Coach MacKenzie is one of our game’s best minds,” commented OSU women’s Head Coach Nate Handrahan. “He has all of the talents and tools to help UConn develop their program to the level they would like it to be. He has been an asset for us at Ohio State and we will miss him dearly.” Prior to joining the OSU staff, MacKenzie spent a two-year stint as the head coach for his alma mater at Niagara University, a year before the program was discontinued by the university. In two seasons, the Purple Eagles registered a 23-31-10 record, including two second place finishes in the CHA. MacKenzie coached on the men’s side for his first eight seasons at UMass-Lowell. During those eight seasons, the Riverhawks experienced three 20-win seasons and were the Hockey East Tournament runner ups in 2009. As a player and 2000 graduate at Niagara, MacKenzie served as a team captain for all four seasons upon the program’s inception in 1996. As a senior, he helped the Purple Eagles to a CHA Regular Season and Tournament Championship as well as an appearance in the NCAA Quarterfinals. As a freshman, MacKenzie was honored by then-head coach Blaise MacDonald and then-assistant coach Dave Burkholder as the program’s first captain. He currently holds several records at Niagara, including most goals, assists and points in a career and season by a defenseman. MacKenzie received Player of the Year honor in 1998 and was a CHA All-Star 2000. MacKenzie earned his bachelor’s of arts in Commerce from Niagara in 2000, graduating Cum Laude, and earned a master’s of arts in psychology from UMass-Lowell in 2003. MacKenzie and his wife Allison have a three year old daughter Morgan, and a four moth old son, Ren.


C asey H andrahan Assistant Coach - First Season - Niagara (’04) Casey Handrahan comes to UConn to join MacKenzie’s first staff after spending the past three seasons as the head coach and assistant athletic director at Neumann University. Handrahan compiled a 35-36-7 overall record over three years at the helm of the Neumann Knights. In his inaugural season with the Knights the team achieved its highest overall season winning percentage in program history with a 16-7-4 overall record. Under his tutelage, two student-athletes were placed on AllECAC teams. Handrahan’s teams were not only successful on the ice but also in the classroom as 25 student-athletes were placed on all-academic teams over his three years. Prior to Neumann, Handrahan spent five seasons as a professional hockey player. In 2006, he was an integral part of the Kalamazoo K-Wings defense that won the Turner and Colonial Cup Championships in the United Hockey League. In the 2007-08 season, he was named the Defenseman of the Year with the Bloomington Prairie Thunder of the International Hockey League. In that same season, he was called-up to the American Hockey League for a stint with the Peoria Rivermen. In 2009, Handrahan went back to Kalamazoo and played his final season as a player-assistant. A native of Niagara Falls, Ontario, Handrahan played his collegiate years at Niagara University. In 2004, he made his impact as the team won the CHA Championship and advanced to the NCAA tournament. While a Purple Eagle, Handrahan was named to the CHA All-Academic Team twice and received his bachelor’s degree in business marketing. Handrahan and his wife, Kelly have two daughters, Madison and Ryley.

J aclyn H awkins Assistant Coach - First Season - UConn (’08) Jaclyn Hawkins, a 2008 Husky graduate, returns to Storrs after working as the Director of Player & Organization Development for the Connecticut Northern Lights the past two years. Hawkins is familiar with the Huskies’ program after compiling a successful four-year career as a student-athlete and then moving from the ice to behind the bench and becoming a UConn assistant for the 2008-09 season. The Manotick, Ont. native returns to Storrs as an assistant coach after serving as the Director of Player and Organization development with the Connecticut Northern Lights in Simsbury. During her two years in Simsbury, Hawkins provided hockey services such as training, coaching and playing an integral role in the prep/college process for the athletes. Additionally, she designed and implemented off-ice stick handling and shooting, oversaw coaching requirements and ensured all coaches abided by USAH regulations and was a lead member of the Hockey Operations Committee. In 2010, Hawkins created the website www.WomensHockeyLife.com which provides a multitude of services to female hockey players, parents and coaches. The site assists in sending players overseas, to college and prep schools. It also provides information to females on present and future opportunities while providing personal insight from players at all levels through blogs, success stories and advice from coaches. Hawkins played professionally in Switzerland for the ZSC Lions during the 2009-10 season. In 18 games there, she led the team with 29 goals and 26 assists for 55 points and helped the Lions to their first ever Swiss Championship game. Hawkins, the 2004-05 Hockey East Rookie of the Year, served as a captain her senior and junior years at UConn, as well as an alternate captain her sophomore season. She led the Huskies with a program-high 27 assists this past season while adding 14 goals for 41 points. Hawkins currently leads the UConn program in career goals, assists and points as she finished her collegiate career with the Huskies earning a program-record 22 wins. In a total of 137 games with the Huskies, Hawkins contributed 144 points on 69 goals scored and 75 assists. As a junior, she led the Huskies with 18 goals, 18 assists and 36 points. As a sophomore, she led the program in all three categories as well, including 12 goals, 15 assists and 27 points.


2013-14 Season Preview The University of Connecticut women’s ice hockey team will look to new head coach Chris MacKenzie and his coaching staff in hopes of building off a tough season last year. Mackenzie will be the second coach in the history of the women’s hockey program after assisting at Ohio State and head coaching at Niagara University. One of the challenges the Huskies will face is strengthening the offensive attack. A year ago, UConn averaged 1.7 goals a game and 22.3 shots per game, recording a 9.8% conversion percentage on power plays. The Huskies will return 17 letter winners and Mackenzie’s seven incoming freshmen will round out his first ever recruiting class. Connecticut will look forward to Elanie Chuli between the pipes as she finished off last season incredibly strong. Chuli topped 40 saves in three straight games against the top teams in the nation including Boston University and Northeastern. The Huskies attack will be experienced as they return their top five scorers from last season. Leading the offense will be junior Kayla Campero, sophomore Michela Cava and junior Sarah MacDonnell, who were the top three scorers. Campero led the team in points with 18 while adding nine assists and nine goals. Cava led the squad in goals with 10 and added seven assists to finish with 17 points. MacDonnell also recorded 17 points while heading the team in assists with 12. Sophomore forward Brittany Berisoff and junior Rachel Farrel will also add to the offense as they finished last season with 15 and 13 points respectively. The seven new Huskies feature four forwards and three defensemen, the group come from three different countries. Susan Cavanagh, Kelly Harris, Carly Haskins, Alexandra Lersch, Kaitlin Storo, Jessica Stott and Viivi Vaattovaara will round out the 2013-2014 women’s hockey team. Cavanagh arrives from Warwick, R.I. and she will look to add to the veteran Husky attack. Prior to captaining Cushing Academy in 2013, she played four years at Pilgrim High, winning the Unsung Hero award. Harris, also a forward, hails from Canton, Michigan where she was a key member of the Little Caesars Hockey Club. At Canton High, Harris earned HPHL Academic honors and received an All-State honorable mention for lacrosse. Storo is one of two incoming freshmen hailing from Minnesota. She captained the Chanhassen High team and as a senior was named Team MVP along with Athlete of the Year. Storo will bring international experience as she represented USA in the Russia Hockey Exchange Program in 2012. Coming from Finland, Viivi Vaattovaara will also bring international skill as she earned bronze and goal medals at the Finland Women’s National Championships with her team, Hameenlinnan Lyseon Lukio. Joining Storo, Carly Haskins arrives at UConn from Minnesota. She will look to aid the defense as she led Andover Senior High with 160 career points and a 66 point effort in her senior season. Haskins earned AllConference honors three times in hockey and twice in lacrosse. Arriving from Choate Rosemary Hall in Wallingford, Conn., Lersch is originally from across the nation. She came from Manhattan Beach, California and during her senior year helped lead Choate to the semifinals at the New England Championships. Rounding out the incoming Husky defense is Jessica Stott, from Niverville, Manitoba. As a member of the Manitoba U18 team, she earned a silver medal at the Women’s National Hockey Championship. Stott joins Storo and Vaattovaara in sharing international experience. Erin Burns will captain the 2013-14 Huskies, and will be assisted by Caitlin Hewes and Sarah MacDonnell. MacKenzie and the new look Huskies will begin the season at home when they welcome Union on Saturday, Sept. 28 to the Freitas Family Ice Forum. UConn will then travel to Minnesota to take on Minnesota Duluth in a two game series on Oct. 4 and 5. Hockey East play will begin in the final game of a five game home stand on Nov. 1 against the Vermont Catamounts. The Huskies will skate in the Nutmeg Classic against Yale on Nov. 29 and then will face either Quinnipiac or RIT. Connecticut will wrap up the regular season with a two game series at home against Maine on Feb. 21 and 22 before beginning Hockey East tournament play on Feb. 28.


The Chris MacKenzie Era Begins By Steven Lewis

Coming off a disappointing 2012-2013 season, the women’s ice hockey team looks to rebound in a big way this year under the leadership of their new coach, former Ohio State assistant Chris MacKenzie. MacKenzie is only the second coach in the history of the women’s hockey program at UConn and is taking over for longtime coach Heather Linstad, who coached the Huskies since the start of the program in 2000. “I’m just excited to start our journey as a team,” said the new coach. “We were picked eighth in the preseason poll, but our expectations are higher than what a poll could say, I can tell you that.” MacKenzie spent last season serving as an assistant coach for the women’s team at Ohio State. “It was a great experience,” said MacKenzie about spending time at Ohio State. “That school does everything first class and they really support their athletics. My time there was very valuable.” His experience before the Buckeyes includes a two-year stay as head coach at his alma mater Niagra University and an eight-year period at Umass-Lowell where he served as an assistant for the men’s team. Throughout his experiences, MacKenzie believes learning from past mistakes is the most valuable thing he has learned about his coaching style and how to make it more effective. “You learn what not to do as you gain experience. I’m a pretty level-headed guy and I have a consistent approach. I don’t really get too high or too low. I think people would say I put a good structure in place as far as a team culture and systematic level of play goes,” said the first-year coach. Though MacKenzie is optimistic for the season and believes the Huskies have as good of a chance of winning the league as any other team, he recognizes the difficulties his coaching staff and team have faced while implementing a new style of play. “We’re installing a whole new system, we’re doing some things differently than they have been done in the past,” said MacKenzie. “Our practices have been longer than I’d like them to be, but the team has been great and so has their energy. Those things make teaching and coaching a lot easier.” The Ohio State hockey program and budget may be bigger than UConn’s, but MacKenzie doesn’t see a lot of differences between the two schools as far as hockey is concerned. According to him, the only real difference is travel time. Ohio State is required to travel long distances, while UConn usually makes day trips and might only have to go to Maine or Vermont. The move to Connecticut puts MacKenzie’s wife, Allison, in familiar territory since she is originally from Newtown, Connecticut. After having visited the campus for the first time and seeing the facilities, it was an easy decision for MacKenzie to make. “As I did my research and came onto campus, I was very impressed one with the campus, two with the facilities, and three with the support of female athletic programs. On the personal side of things, the opportunity for my wife to be back home on the east coast was a personal plus for us,” said MacKenzie. Chris and Allison have two children: three-year-old daughter, Morgan and four month old son, Ren. Though the move from Ohio to Connecticut has been stressful like it is anytime someone’s trying to settle into a new environment, MacKenzie acknowledges the adjustment his family and coaching staff have made. “I married the right person because we have moved five times in the last seven years and I’ve been facilitating that change with new jobs. I want to just personally thank my wife for being so patient and our staff for making some changes in their lives too.” The Huskies have not been given much respect in the preseason polls, but MacKenzie believes the door is wide open for his team to contend for a Hockey East title. “I think hockey is just wide open, we can absolutely win it. If we get on the right type of streak and get enough wins we could get in the NCAA Tournament,” said the new Husky coach. Even though Coach MacKenzie and his family have been frequent movers over the years, it seems that he is at UConn for the long haul with big plans for helping the women’s team reach its potential in his first year at the helm. “The sky is the limit here.”

2012-13 Season Review

Connecticut fought hard in a tough season that produced a Hockey East league record of 1-19-1. Overall, the Huskies posted a 3-29-3 record. They broke into the win column against Maine (10/20) in their first OT victory since 2009. Kayla Campero notched the game winner just 50 seconds into the extra frame. UConn was 2-5-1 in its first eight games, including coming back from a three goal deficit to tie RPI. The Huskies opened up their home season with a win over Syracuse at the Freitas Ice Forum. Goaltender Sarah Moses stopped 38 shots for Connecticut in her home debut. Campero was named the Athletic Republic Player of the Week by Hockey East for the week ending Jan. 6. In a win over Princeton, she posted a career high four points. On February 23, the Huskies suffered a heart breaking loss to No. 4 Boston University after leading 4-1 through the first period of play. Connecticut upped the advantage to four goals after Brittany Berisoff scored less than three minutes into the second period. The Terriers went on to finish the game with six unanswered goals, winning 7-5. Goalie Elaine Chuli topped 40 saves for three straight games against the top ranked teams in the nation. Chuli started her streak with 42 saves against No. 10 Northeastern before stopping 43 shots against No. 4 Boston University. She then went on to record 40 saves against the Terriers on “Senior Day” at the Freitas Ice Forum. Michela Cava

Connecticut’s season came to an end with a 5-1 loss in the quarterfinals of the Hockey East playoffs against No. 4 Boston University. Margaret Zimmer scored the lone goal for the Huskies to cut the lead to one, but UConn failed to score on seven power play chances. Campero led the Huskies in total points with 18 after tallying 9 goals and 9 assists. Michela Cava finished the season with 17 points, leading the Huskies in goals (10), while also providing two game winners. Sarah MacDonnell also recorded 17 points and led the team in assists with 12. In net, Chuli started 27 games, owning a 3.94 Goals Against Average and .892 save percentage in the crease.

Support Staff

Strength and Conditioning

Maureen Butler • Asst. Strength & Conditioning Coach

The strength and conditioning program for the University of Connecticut is under the supervision of UConn Strength and Conditioning Coordinator Jerry Martin. The Strength and Conditioning staff services all 24 of Connecticut’s intercollegiate teams. Assisting directly with the Strength and conditioning efforts for UConn hockey is strength and conditioning staff member Maureen Butler. Butler has worked with the USA Women's Hockey U-18 team. UConn hockey players have the use of two different weight rooms in the Harry A. Gampel Pavilion and the newly remodeled Hugh S. Greer Field House. In all, there are over 8,000 square feet of weight training facilities available for all UConn student-athletes. The weight room in the Harry A. Gampel Pavilion is a free weight facility and supplies the Husky student-athletes areas in which to perform their power and Olympic lifts. The facility in the Greer Field House is fitted with more free weights in which the UConn hockey players can incorporate circuit training, speed training and heavy negative workouts into their total strength-training program. Jerry Martin and his staff supervise a strength and conditioning program for each individual athlete for training all year long. Each program can be manipulated in order to fulfill the specific needs of the individual. Specific testing is done to each hockey player to monitor progress in strength, power, body composition, anaerobic conditioning and flexibility. These tests provide the coaches and medical staff with an accurate athletic profile on each athlete.

Counseling Program for Intercollegiate Athletes

Becky Taylor • CPIA Counselor

The University of Connecticut is committed to each hockey player, and all of its student-athletes, as a total person. Participation in athletics is important, but it represents only one aspect of the student-athlete’s college experience. At the University of Connecticut, academic achievement is the primary concern. Impressively, for the past five years the Connecticut student-athlete retention rate has been 99.0 percent. The University's commitment to the student-athlete is a dual one. Participation in athletics is not viewed as an obstacle to the attainment of one's educational goals, rather it is seen as a complementary activity. Each supports the other. Athletic excellence is stressed, but academic achievement is never compromised - indeed, it is given the utmost priority. The University realizes that the hockey team and all student-athletes, due to their academic involvement, are required to commit a large percentage of their personal time to University sponsored athletic activities. For this reason, the University recognizes the need for a support program for its intercollegiate athletes. The Counseling Program for Intercollegiate Athletes (CPIA) constantly assists all student-athletes in achieving their academic goals. The CPIA staff serves as a liaison to the academic faculty, the Division of Athletics, and the student-athlete. In serving as a liaison between the Connecticut student-athletes and University faculty and staff, the CPIA counselors also provide assistance in securing appropriate support services available with the University. These include orientation for student-athletes, supervised study halls, individual tutors and tutorial centers (an English/Writing Center, Math Center and Reading Center), and learning skills seminars. For the past three years, the writing lab and computers have been networked to a national database which allow all student-athletes to do research at their actual computer stations.

Department of Sports Medicine

Dr. Tom Trojian • Team Physician Janelle Francisco • Athletic Trainer

The Department of Sports Medicine in the University of Connecticut Division of Athletics works as an integrated multidisciplinary team whose purpose is to provide the optimal, safe environment for the hockey student-athletes to train and participate in their sport. The staff takes great pride in the individual attention paid to each student-athlete. They are devoted to preventing injury, rapidly diagnosing and treating injury and maximizing athletic performance. The disciplines of athletic training, strength and conditioning, sports medicine, orthopaedic sports medicine, optometry, nutrition, exercise physiology, and psychology work in concert to provide comprehensive care for the student-athlete. The women's hockey team is spearheaded by Athletic Trainer Janelle Francisco. Physician coverage is provided by Jeffrey Anderson, MD, the Director of Sports Medicine and Team Physician Thomas Trojian, MD. The Orthopaedic Sports Medicine Specialists for the team include Edward Collins, MD of the Connecticut Sports Medicine and Orthopaedic Center in Willimantic, Barry Messinger, MD of Sports Medicine and Orthopaedic Surgery in Manchester, Michael Joyce, MD of Glastonbury and St. Francis Hospital and Robert Arciero, MD of the University of Connecticut Health Center Department of Orthopaedics in Farmington. The Department of Sports Medicine works intimately with the Departments of Kinesiology and Nutritional Sciences on the University of Connecticut campus. This affords the student-athletes with the input of several nationally recognized exercise scientists. This cooperation also keeps the sports medicine staff at the cutting edge of developments in the fields of human performance and sports nutrition. Members of the sports medicine staff are actively engaged in research that directly benefits the care of all student-athletes. The UConn Sports Medicine team is housed in state-of-the-art facilities in the Hugh S. Greer Field House and the Harry A. Gampel Pavilion, as well as a new and expanded sports medicine treatment center located in The Burton Family Football Complex. In addition to providing the finest in medical care for the UConn hockey program, the Department of Sports Medicine at the University of Connecticut administers to the daily needs of 600 male and female intercollegiate student-athletes who are competing in 24 different varsity programs. The Department of Sports Medicine at the University of Connecticut plays a critical role in assuring that all UConn student-athletes have 24-hour access to the finest medical support and quality health care possible. Through patient care and ongoing research and education, the department continues to provide Husky teams a competitive edge from the medical perspective.

David Lezenski Asst. Supervisor of Officials.....................................................................Tim Hooton Web Site Coordinator.............................................................................. Dan Parkhurst 2013-14 Graduate Intern. ...............................................................Michael ‘JR’ Brown The Women’s Hockey East Association will celebrate its 12th season of play after officially commencing league action in the fall of 2002. In 11 years, the conference has emerged as one of the top women’s ice hockey conferences in the nation, having sent eight teams to the Frozen Four and 15 teams to the NCAA Tournament, which includes one of the most successful seasons in 2012-2013, sending Boston University and Boston College to the Frozen Four with the Terriers making the league’s third appearance in the NCAA National Championship Game. In 2013, the Boston University Terriers captured their third Hockey East Tournament Title in the last four years against Northeastern in March. BU was presented with the newly named Bertagna Trophy, as the Hockey East Tournament Champions, at the Hyannis Youth and Community Center in Hyannis, in honor of the conference’s founding Commissioner Joe Bertagna. The Terriers also earned their second regular-season championship in school history with a 18-2-1 record in league games. Boston College swept the three major awards at the postseason awards banquet, with Alex Carpeter winning Player of the Year, Haley Skarupa earning Rookie of the Year honors and Katie King Crowley taking home the Coach of the Year trophy for the first time in her coaching career. 92 student-athletes were named to the league’s 2012-13 All-Academic Team in the conferences 11th season of play. Each student-athlete achieved a grade point average (GPA) of 3.0 or better in each of the two academic periods during which she was actively competing. Vermont junior Megan Dalbec and Maine sophomore Kate Massey shared the distinction as Hockey East Top-Scholar Athlete for the second straight season, as the duo earned perfect 4.0 GPA’s for the season. Dalbec receives the award for the third consecutive season for the Catamounts. The league also honored a league record 10 student-athletes that received “Distinguished Scholar” status. Those earning “Distinguished Scholar” status achieved a 3.0 or better in each semester over four varsity seasons. Northeastern led the way with three selection, while Boston University and Providence placed two amongst the select group. Brittany Esposito, Siena Falino and Casey Pickett earn the distinction from the Northeastern Huskies, while Alissa Fromkin and Cristina Wiley were honored from the Terriers. Jessica Cohen and Jessica Vella were also honored from the Friars squad. Boston College’s Corinne Boyles, Maine’s Chloe Tinkler, New Hampshire’s Katie Brock and Vermont’s Emily Walsh were also bestowed the prestigious honor. In February 2007, the league debuted its inaugural “Skating Strides Against Breast Cancer”. The one-day event was hosted by Hockey East schools as a way to establish a greater fan base, to raise needed funds, and to work with the specific charities to raise awareness for both the league and the specific cause. In the initial year, close to $20,000 was donated back to local breast cancer charities (Friends of Mel’s Foundation and the American Cancer Society), vastly exceeding expectations. Last year the league raised $30,000 to bring the seven-year total to nearly $230,000. “Skating Strides”

has won two national awards at NACMA in the “Single Day Attendance Promotion” category in 2007 and 2009. The eighth annual “Skating Strides Against Breast Cancer” will have an event on every WHEA campus this season, as well as participation by all of the Hockey East men’s teams over the course of a two weekends. History As women’s ice hockey steadily expanded from its original status as an emerging sport to its current status as an established NCAA championship sport, it became apparent that Hockey East should seriously consider sponsoring a separate league to accommodate its five member schools that initially had varsity programs for women: Boston College, Maine, New Hampshire, Northeastern and Providence. The uncertainty remained until a split in the Eastern College Athletic Conference grouped the five aforementioned programs into a separate league, the ECAC Women’s Eastern League, along with three other unaffiliated programs. Seeking league solidarity, administrators from the five Hockey East institutions acted. In September of 2001, the long-incubated idea became a reality when the athletic directors voted to found the new women’s league under the existing Hockey East banner, with play scheduled to begin no later than the 2004-05 season. The five schools with varsity programs entered as charter members with the stipulation that any other Hockey East school that added a varsity women’s program in the future would be freely admitted to the league. Expediting the process in the interests of the participating teams, the league and the sport itself, Commissioner Joe Bertagna worked with a selected task force to successfully prepare the Hockey East women’s league for launch in the 2002-03 season, two years ahead of schedule. An important part of that process was the acceptance of an invitation extended to the University of Connecticut to join the newly formed league as its sixth active member. The triumphant effort immediately afforded the participating administrators a stronger voice in the advancement of their women’s ice hockey programs and alleviated the ECAC of continuing the maintenance of the Women’s Eastern League. Players, fans, coaches and administrators alike were all anticipating the intensified competition created by the new circle of teams that were already familiar rivals. In 2005, the Women’s Hockey East Association welcomed the addition of two more teams to its growing family, Boston University and the University of Vermont. For BU, it marked the inaugural season for women’s hockey as a varsity sport. The league athletic directors voted in June of 2012 to expand the playoff format and now all eight teams will qualify for the playoffs beginning in 2012-13 season, as opposed to six and four in previous seasons. Although the Women’s Hockey East Association is still in its infancy, its member programs have storied histories that include several championships and individual awards at the highest levels of play. The first 13 ECAC championships were shared among New Hampshire,

Northeastern and Providence, all charter members of Hockey East. Northeastern forward Brooke Whitney was named the recipient of the 2002 Patty Kazmaier Award as the nation’s top female collegiate player, an honor first won by New Hampshire’s Brandy Fisher in 1998. Had the award been in existence beforehand, it surely would have been won at some point by Cammi Granato, a three-time ECAC Player of the Year who led Providence to back-to-back championships in 1992 and 1993. Five years later, in 1998, alongside nine other alums of what are now Hockey East programs, Granato captained Team USA to the Olympic gold medal during the first Olympic tournament that featured women’s ice hockey as a medal sport. Granato was inducted into the U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame in October of 2010 for her contributions to the sport. Beginning in 2009, the WHEA athletic directors voted to honor the league Player of the Year with the Cammi Granato Award. Perhaps the proudest legacy that the Women’s Hockey East Association has established is the Hockey Humanitarian Award. The most prestigious off-ice honor, and arguably the highest overall honor in the sport, the Hockey Humanitarian Award recognizes college hockey’s finest citizen each year and encompasses both male and female athletes in all divisions. Its winners have demonstrated outstanding contributions to society through leadership in charity work and volunteerism. Northeastern senior forward Missy Elumba was the 2009 recipient, as the fifth Hockey East student-athlete to receive the prestigious honor. Elumba was the 14th all-time recipient and joined former Husky goaltender Chanda Gunn, who received the award in 2004, as the second athlete in Northeastern women’s hockey history. BC’s Sarah Carlson received it in 2005, making Women’s Hockey East the first league to boast back-toback winners.

Storrs Center:

A New Downtown




Our Campus is Connecticut In addition to the main campus in Storrs, the University of Connecticut has a number of other campuses and schools around the state, which truly makes the state into the campus.

The Jackson initiative is a collaboration between the globally prominent Jackson Laboratory, UConn, the Health Center and leading academic and healthcare institutions in the region. The UConn School of Law is one of the leading public law schools in the country. Its campus, listed on the National Register of Historic Sites, is among the most beautiful of any law school in the United States. The newly-completed law library is perhaps the finest facility of its kind in the world. Two miles from the center of Hartford, the Law School is located in a neighborhood of large Victorian homes. UConn has long had an undergraduate campus in the Greater Hartford region and plans are now underway to relocate that campus to the center of downtown Hartford. The UConn campus in downtown Stamford is surrounded by a cluster of corporate headquarters including a number of Fortune 500 companies, such as Pitney-Bowes and Charter Communications. The UConn campus in Waterbury is housed in a new state-of the-art facility. Options exist to transfer to the Storrs campus after two years or earn a degree right in Waterbury. UConn’s “campus by the ocean” is located at Avery Point in the southern portion of the state in Groton. Avery Point is the home to the Connecticut Sea Grant Program in conjunction with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Project Oceanography, and education program for middle school and high school students, is also on the Avery Point campus. The Torrington campus, located in the hills of the western portion of the state, is home to the famed Litchfield County Writers Program. The program attracts visits by some of the country’s most preeminent writers including Roxana Robinson and the late Madeline L’Engle and Arthur Miller.

In her position with The University System of Georgia, Herbst led 15 university presidents and oversaw the academic missions for all 35 public universities in Georgia.

In addition to those duties, Herbst continued to hold a faculty appointment as a professor of public policy at Georgia Tech. She is the author of many scholarly journal articles and books, including her most recent book about incivility in American politics, Rude Democracy, released in September 2010.

Director of Athletics

Warde Manuel W

arde J. Manuel, who has had a distinguished career in intercollegiate athletics that ranges from being a student-athlete to a director of athletics, became the Director of Athletics in March of 2011. Manuel, a 1990 graduate of the University of Michigan where he played both football and track and field, has most recently been the Director of Athletics at the University at Buffalo for six years. His first academic year of 2012-13 was a highly successful one for UConn teams, highlighted by the women’s basketball team winning the NCAA Championship. In addition, UConn teams from men’s soccer, field hockey and baseball all took part in NCAA tournament play while the women’s diving and men’s and women’s track and field programs were all represented in NCAA individual championships. Manuel also directed UConn’s acceptance into membership of Hockey East, the nation’s premier men’s ice hockey conference, as the Huskies begin play in the league in 2014-15. Ground was broken for the UConn Basketball Development Center in the spring of 2013 and the facility will open in 2014 to service both the Huskies’ men’s and women’s championship basketball teams. Manuel oversaw a coaching transition in men’s basketball with the retirement of Hall of Fame coach Jim Calhoun and the hiring of former Husky student-athlete, NBA player and UConn assistant coach Kevin Ollie. Manuel also hired new head coaches for the UConn men’s and women’s ice hockey programs. The UConn Division of Athletics once again had an outstanding rate performance in the NCAA Academic Progress Rate (APR) in 2013 as the men’s basketball team posted a 947 as Manuel has helped develop a comprehensive academic plan for all UConn programs. Each Husky team met the NCAA minimum requirement while most teams, a total of 20, scored 970 or better. In June of 2013, Manuel was one of 11 Division I ADs, who were named to Athletic Director Advisory Group to the NCAA leadership. The membership of this advisory group will meet periodically with NCAA leadership to provide feedback and perspective on issues that affect NCAA Division I members.

Manuel has already become a key leader in the American Athletic Conference and has been named a member of the league’s Finance Committee. Manuel led a 20-sport program at Buffalo, an institution that is a member of the prestigious American Association of Universities. Buffalo enjoyed an unparalleled period of success during his time there from an athletic, academic and community service perspective. From an academic standpoint, teams at Buffalo enjoyed incredible academic success. When Manuel arrived at UB, there were four programs - football, men’s basketball, wrestling, and baseball - that fell far below the NCAA Academic Progress Rate (APR) cut score of 925. With a focused academic plan, all four teams posted a four-year APR rate above the cut score and at the end of 2009-10, 10 of UB’s 20 sports had scores of 975 or above. Buffalo enjoyed great on-field success during Manuel’s time as the football team participated in the 2009 International Bowl and the men’s basketball team made postseason appearances in three of the past seven years. Olympic sports also thrived under Manuel’s leadership with accomplishments such as three-straight Dad Vail Regatta titles by the rowing team, six wrestlers earning spots at the 2011 NCAA Championship and the women’s tennis team making an appearance in the 2008 NCAA tournament. The sports of baseball and softball won a record number of games during his tenure and student-athletes earned All-American and allconference honors at record rates. Manuel was honored by Sports Business Journal as a 2008 national 40-Under-40 honoree after receiving the same honor from Business First of Buffalo in Fall of 2007. Manuel has served on a number of national and conference committees and boards. In September of 2011, he was one of only three Athletic Directors asked to serve on the Collegiate Model Rules committee, a working group of the Division I Committee on Academic Performance, charged with broad overview of the current NCAA Rules Manual. He also currently serves on the NCAA Division I Championships/ Sports Management Cabinet and served for four years as a member of the NCAA’s Academic Cabinet. During that time, he was selected as Chair of the NCAA Academic Eligibility & Compliance Transfer Ad Hoc Committee. He is a member of the Boards of the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics and the D1A Athletic Directors Association. He also serves as a member of the Council of Presidents Budget & Finance Committee and served for three years as the Chair of the MidAmerican Conference Director of Athletics Finance Committee. In June of 2007, Manuel accepted the Opportunity Award by all-time tennis great Billie Jean King, as Buffalo was recognized by the Women’s Sports Foundation as one of four “standout” colleges and universities in the nation for outstanding achievement in providing equitable athletic opportunities for its female student-athletes. Prior to his time at Buffalo, he was the assistant and associate director of athletics for the University of Michigan, where he oversaw that school’s football and men’s basketball programs. In February 1998, he was named an assistant athletic director at Michigan with responsibilities for overseeing operational facets of the university’s athletic program. He was named an associate athletic director in September 2000. Born May 22, 1968, Manuel is a native of New Orleans, who was a high school All-American football player and played for the University of Michigan under its legendary coach, Bo Schembechler. Manuel earned multiple letters and started at defensive end in his sophomore year. His football career was cut short by a neck injury and he subsequently earned two letters on the Wolverines’ track and field team. After graduating from Michigan, Manuel was coordinator of the university’s Wade H. McCree, Jr., Incentive Scholars Program from June 1990 to August 1993. The program is a partnership with The President’s Council of State Universities and Detroit Public Schools that helps students prepare for higher education at public universities in Michigan. He subsequently worked briefly as an academic advisor with the Georgia Tech Athletic Association before being named assistant athletic director of academic affairs. In the course of working on a PhD in social work and psychology at Michigan, he earned a master’s degree in social work in 1993 and an MBA from Michigan’s Ross School of Business in April 2005. Manuel and his wife, Chrislan, have a daughter, Emma (18), who is entering her sophomore year at UConn, and a son, Evan (14).

In addition to all that the city of Hartford and the state of Connecticut has to offer, the region within two hours of Storrs is ripe with cultural and entertainment possibilities. SPRINGFIELD (47 miles) The Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame is located less than an hour from Storrs in Springfield, Mass., just minutes from the YMCA where Dr. James Naismith invented the game in 1891. A must-see for any fan of the hardwood, the Hall of Fame reopened in the fall of 2002 in a $45 million home just off of Interstate 91 in Springfield. The pinnacle of any basketball career, the hall’s long list of inductees now includes UConn men’s basketball coach Jim Calhoun, a 2005 inductee, and women’s basketball coach Geno Auriemma, a 2006 inductee. Once you finish your tour of the Hall of Fame, Springfield’s neighboring suburb of Agawam is the home of Six Flags New England, the region’s largest amusement park.

NEW YORK CITY (142 miles) The United States’ largest city and “the media capital of the world,” New York City is located approximately two hours from Storrs and offers a wide array of cultural opportunities. From the glitter of Times Square, to the vast expanse of Central Park, to the majestic skyline, New York City is an incomparable destination and one that can be easily reached by the Metro-North train lines that run into southern Connecticut. UConn students also enjoy the city’s active sporting landscape. The New York metro area also boasts 10 major professional sports franchises, including the NFL’s New York Jets and Giants, Major League Baseball’s New York Mets and Yankees, the NBA’s New York Knicks and Brooklyn Nets, the NHL’s New York Islanders, New York Rangers and New Jersey Devils and the WNBA’s New York Liberty.

Storrs


BOSTON (86 miles) The birthplace of the American Revolution, Boston’s historic Freedom Trail is a living history textbook, covering everything from the Battle of Bunker Hill to the midnight ride of Paul Revere. Meanwhile, the city blends its old world charm with a cosmopolitan new world attitude that is evidenced by some of the trendier shops and restaurants that line both historic Faneuil Hall Marketplace and the Back Bay’s Newbury Street. One of the world’s foremost centers of education, Boston is home to over 50 colleges and universities; perhaps the entire world’s most concentrated collection of colleges. The greater Boston area also includes the summer beach resorts on Cape Cod and the islands of Nantucket and Martha’s Vineyard. A hub of sporting activity, the 2004 and 2007 World Series Champion Boston Red Sox have called fabled Fenway Park home since 1912. The 2008 NBA Champion Boston Celtics and the 2011 Stanley Cup Champions Boston Bruins also call Beantown home, while the 2002, 2004 and 2005 Super Bowl Champion New England Patriots and MLS’ New England Revolution play outside of the city in Foxboro’s Gillette Stadium.

PROVIDENCE (51 miles) Rhode Island’s capital city shows that one of the nation’s smallest states also has plenty to offer its visitors. The multi-cultural capital city, which dates back to 1636, is the Ocean State’s centerpiece. The best known hamlet on the Rhode Island shore, the ocean town of Newport is world famous for its mansions and is a popular vacation destination for those seeking aquatic activities. Newport’s renowned music festival is also a well-attended annual event.
