Men’s Hockey: Columbus Blue Jackets draft incoming UW freshman Corson Ceulemans

Meet Corson Ceulemans, a former standout for the Brooks Bandits of the Alberta Junior Hockey League, a current Wisconsin Badger and a future Columbus Blue Jacket.

The Blue Jackets selected the six-foot-two, 201-pound defenseman as the 25th overall pick of the 2021 National Hockey League Entry Draft this past Friday. He became the University of Wisconsin’s seventh first-round pick in the last six years and the program’s 17th first-rounder overall.

This year became the 24th consecutive year a Badger has been drafted.

Ceulemans is a strong offensive defenseman, known for his accurate shot and ability to handle the puck around the blue line.
