The 2020-21 Wisconsin Badgers women’s hockey team is, as usual, one of the more talented squads in the entire country. As a result of the cancellation of the 2020 NCAA Tournament, the Badgers are still the reigning national champions. With the season starting Friday night in Columbus against the Ohio State Buckeyes, it is time to preview the opening series of the season.
The Badgers are the preseason No. 1 team in the country, the projected winners of the Western Collegiate Hockey Association (WCHA), and no doubt the favorites to win the national title in March.
But, it is important to not get ahead of ourselves, and Head Coach Mark Johnson has always done a good job of making sure his team does not look too far ahead.
