The UConn Huskies men’s hockey team had their inaugural Hockey East home opener on Wednesday night against the Boston College Eagles and it couldn’t have gone any better.

With a sellout crowd of 8,089 at the XL Center in Hartford, CT behind them, the Huskies beat BC 1-0 on an Evan Richardson goal.

The crowd was electric all night long as you’ll see in the video below.
