University of Wisconsin men’s hockey team is set to name a new head coach in Detroit Red Wings assistant coach, Tony Granato.
The announcement was made Sunday by John Buccigross at ESPN, a little more than a week after long time head coach Mike Eaves was fired.
Multiple sources tell me Tony Granato will be the next Head Hockey Coach at Wisconsin. Brother Donny will likely join him on staff.

Granato has spent the last fourteen seasons jumping around coaching jobs in the NHL, serving as head coach of the Colorado Avalanche and an assistant with the Detroit Red Wings and Pittsburgh Penguins.
