Friday night brings Bears into Bright Hockey Center, a trip to Vermont next week and a very long bus ride to upstate New York a few weeks later.
Getting started means that Cavanagh may miss the occasional Catholic mass on Sunday due to travel or games, an omission he regrets.
“I’m a pretty religious person,” Cavanagh says. “Yeah, occasionally, I miss it—I probably shouldn’t.”
But Friday night also brings his sister Carol, a sophomore at Harvard, out from the Quad, and maybe into Bright, where she could join her parents. Tom’s uncle Dave will likely be there too, as his current assignment as a Catholic priest brings him back to Cambridge.
Getting started brings Tom Cavanagh into the limelight of Bright Hockey Center and Harvard expectations.
