For the first time in 595 days, the Wisconsin Badgers men’s hockey team will play a game on the ice of the Kohl Center.
The Badgers will roll out as an almost completely different team from the 2019-20 squad when they take the ice against the Michigan Tech Huskies this Friday and Saturday. More than half of this year’s team has never played in front of the Crease Creatures and the rest of the best fans in college hockey.
This is a big year for Wisconsin. After losing superstars Cole Caufield, Dylan Holloway, Linus Weissbach, Ty Pelton-Byce, Ty Emberson and others, this year will seemingly serve as a bit of a bridge from last year’s success to the future of Wisconsin hockey.
