There's 10D on this year's list and 13D listed for next year. Pretty bonkers. Stillwell, Berkovitz and Vance all seem to be passed by Greenway and Nyberg. Greenway should shoot right to the top. Next year 3 highly regarded players are slated to arrive, Inamato, Parcells and Gildon. UW could have some young D pairs playing the next 2 years over the more experienced but less effective upperclassmen.

Re: Wisconsin Hockey Recruiting Vol. XXXIV: Go pick me out a winner, Strand
I'm guessing that some of our incoming freshmen aren't ever going to see much action. And maybe also some of our sophs.If you want to be a BADGER, just come along with me
BRING BACK PAT RICHTER!!!
At his graduation ceremony from the U of Minnesota, my cousin got a keychain. When asked what UW gave her for graduation, my sister said, "A degree from a University that matters."
Canned music is a pathetic waste of your time.

Players like Berkovitz, Stillwell, Berry, Blomquist will probably sit.
Vance and Sundberg I have no idea if they are still coming, I'm assuming no. Same goes for Berkovitz and Stillwell. Stillwell can stay another year in Juniors but Berkovitz has used up his eligibilty.WISCONSIN BADGERS

Originally posted by Bratbill View PostMADISON, Wis. – Head men's hockey coach Tony Granato announced on Monday the addition of defenseman Philip Nyberg, who has signed a National Letter of Intent and is expected to join the Badgers for the fall.
Born in Karlskrona, Sweden, Nyberg spent last season skating for Linköping HC J20 in Sweden's SuperElit league. In 45 regular-season contests, the right-handed shot posted four goals and 18 points. He added a goal in four playoff games.
"He is a very athletic, explosive skater," Granato said. "His first two steps are really good. He's also a quality person from a quality family with great character."
In the prior season of 2014-15, the 6-3 and 192-pound rear guard skated three games with the same Linköping HC J20 squad, but played the majority of the year with Linköping HC J18, serving as an assistant captain. He had three goals and 12 points in 20 games playing in the J18 Elit league, as well as two assists in nine games in the J18 Allsvenskan league.
Nyberg is the fourth signing of the spring for the Badgers. The signings of goaltenders Jack Berry and Johan Blomquist, as well as defenseman JD Greenway, were announced last week.

Lekrone will have to add the following before The Star Spangled Banner.....https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7V-hnewrxPo"Show me a good loser, and I'll show you a loser." Vince Lombardi
"License to kill gophers by the government of the United Nations. Man; free to kill gophers at will. To kill, you must know your enemy, and in this case, my enemy is a varmint....and a varmint will never quit...ever. They're like Viet Cong...Varmint Cong, so you have to fall back on superior intelligence and superior firepower...and that's all she wrote. Au revoir, gopher." Karl Spackler 1980

I won't be surprised at all if camp breaks with only 8 D including Hurley. Or 9, I guess, if we count McGuire as switching.
Also, while a L/R D pairing is ideal, I'm going to take the best available player every time. Rather play a better player on his off hand side than a lesser player because outside of the PP, 80-90% of what they need to do on a given shift is largely unaffected by which hand is dominant. Actually, with this group of F's, if the D can just play D, win the puck back and get it out quick, the Badgers will be in very good shape.Originally posted by WiscTJKI'm with Wisko and Tim.Originally posted by Timothy AOther than Wisko McBadgerton and Badger Bob, who is universally loved by all?

Re: Wisconsin Hockey Recruiting Vol. XXXIV: Go pick me out a winner, Strand
Most European players have a left handed shot, because of how they hold the stick. They are taught the dominate hand should be on the top of the stick controlling the stick handling. North American players are taught the dominate hand is placed on the bottom part of stick for more power. I know USA hockey was trying to change the thought process to have the dominate hand on the top of the stick which is the main control for most to all movements of the stick. If you look at a European club most players are listed left shot and North American roster majority are right shot. This is the reason.
