While Wisconsin football may dominate the headlines given its strong start to the 2017 season. But big things appear to be in order on the ice for Wisconsin Badger hockey this year.
The preseason projections rate Wisconsin women’s and men’s hockey highly. Both squads are expected to do big things in 2017-2018.
Wisconsin women’s hockey begins the 2017-2018 season in the same place it finished the previous campaign. In the #2 spot nationally in the “USCHO.com Division I Women’s Poll” behind Clarkson.
The Badgers lost to Clarkson in the national championship game.
The Badgers, who received 128 votes in the poll, are coming off a 33-3-4 season which featured UW’s sixth WCHA regular-season title and its seventh WCHA tournament crown.
