As the 2020-2021 Big Ten Hockey season comes to a close, the University of Wisconsin men’s hockey team (17-8-1, 15-6-1-1 Big Ten) looks to make a splash in the Big Ten tournament this season after dominating the field and claiming the top spot in the conference.
They are coming off of a dominant 7-0 win over the Ohio State Buckeyes on senior night at LaBahn Arena, and have won 11 of their last 14 games heading into the season finale against Michigan State.
For such a storied program whose alumni have played the most combined games in the National Hockey League since the 2004-2005 season lockout, the Badgers have not made the NCAA Tournament since 2014, the year the team captured the inaugural Big Ten hockey conference championship.
