The Huskies play all their games in the Big East Conference, except for ice hockey, in which the female team competes in Hockey East and the male team in Atlantic Hockey. Huskies are powerful black and white dogs with thick fur, and they live primarily in snowy, hilly areas of Connecticut, which is why the team players are nicknamed Huskies and their official mascot is Jonathan the Husky, which can be seen at different sports events.
