Badgers in the NHL: four future UW skaters go on the second day of NHL Draft

The first round of the 2022 NHL Draft did not include a Wisconsin Badgers player hearing their name called, the first time in four years that UW hasn’t had one, but rounds two through seven had four future Badgers see their dreams come true.

With pick No. 100 in the fourth round, the Seattle Kraken selected Canadian defenseman Tyson Jugnauth (West Kelowna Warriors, BCHL). Last season the offensive-minded defender earned the Best Defenseman Award for the BCHL and he’ll be playing in Madison this fall.



With the 100th overall pick, the #SeaKraken select Tyson Jugnauth.
