STORRS, Conn. - UConn junior Jonny Evans (North Delta, British Columbia) is the first Husky in program history to be named a finalist for the Hockey East Player of the Year Award. In addition, for the second-straight year, head coach Mike Cavanaugh has been named a finalist for the Bob Kullen Award for Coach of the Year.

Cavanaugh guided UConn to their highest ever finish in the conference at 10-10-2, good for fourth place in the final standings. He also led the Huskies this season to the program's first-ever national ranking in the national polls.
