Wisconsin Hockey 21-22: Your Guess Is As Good As Mine

Well, MSU didn't hire Hastings, so there is a sliver of hope UW can not be last in the B16. And that they can hire him in a few years.

A few years??? You think Granato ends up getting that long a leash?

If the UW wants to stay with former Badgers, How about an Attitude Adjustment staff?
HC - Chris Chelios.
AC - Gary Suter.
AC - John Newberry.
G - Duane Derksen.

There's some ATTITUDE!

LET's GO AVs!

I’d love any one of those 4 as head coach. Today’s kids though are too coddled to handle it though. They’d be crying after every practice.

maybe bring in Burish to rattle some cages.

Trying to be objective, 10 years ago wouldn't we have included TG in this list?

46% of sold tickets were not used last year. 4,917 was the game average attendance. PATHETIC. Season high was 8,421 against the rodents.

No reason to change coaches, it's all good here!

Attendance article for hockey from Todd Milewski. It's worse than I thought. Hard to believe they hung onto the staff after knowing the attendance data.

Missed you quoted the article. You are 100% correct.

A writer from Minnesota did a similar story. When you compare the two, Wisconsin’s attendance doesn’t look bad at all, considering the team’s record this year compared to Minnesota’s. Minnesota had remarkably more success on the ice this year, and their attendance was about the same as Wisconsin’s.

This isn’t a Wisconsin issue. This is a Big 10 Hockey conference issue.

Ha, I thought the same thing.

Anyone know who interviewed for the open position?

Minnesota's attendance woes was not nearly as bad as Wisconsin. 33% no shows, versus 46% no shows. UW scanned tickets down 2,225 from 19-20 to 21-22. Minnesota scanned tickets down 500 in same period. Yes it's a national trend, but it's clear the Wisconsin program has much bigger problems than a resurgent Goofer program.

I'm confident TG and OZ will lead us out of it.

Ok, who I am kidding. I have zero optimism for 22-23 and this staff.

Ty Smilanic to UW from QU....no eye popping stats or anything but he's been involved with the US national teams.

27 goals in two years...good pickup for you guys

He was a no show in the second half of last season and I have heard rumblings of stuff off the ice.

Idk. We got that guy from bowling Green who had 100 career pts last year and he did like nothing. Tg is great at ruining players.

[WiscTJK]

Correct his goals scored will most likely go down.
