Wisconsin Hockey 2024 Offseason

[digitalbooya]

I’m very excited for this season. There will be more buy-in from the players. Possibly even 100% but-in and if that’s the case, this team will be in the top 10 and have a shot to win games in the NCAA, maybe even get to the FF.

drop the puck! Bring back banners! Bring back the old cheers! Bring back the blue line club! Oh wait, they sell beer now, woooooot!

paint thinner nation will rise again!

I hope you are right! 15 years is too long to go without an NCAA tournament win.

Found an interesting stat about Hastings. Over the last 10 seasons (14-15 through 23-24) his teams are 11-4-1 against the gophers (9-3-0 with MN State, 2-1-1 so far with UW).

I think I see why gopher fans are always complaining about him having older players. A coping mechanism since they keep losing to his teams!

Yes! Same thing they said about the Blaiser! Too many Canadians! Too many older players.

I saw a picture of the new rink size with the seating arrangement and it sure looks like there won't be much juice on the glass, that's for sure

Where did you see it? I only saw the renderings. I was hoping for better pictures.

Nevermind found it here: Updates on Wisconsin's new premium seating at Kohl Center (madison.com)

This should help viewing angles from 3rd level and some in 2nd level. But Tim is right about the glass seats being replaced with high $$ donors....

Milewski post on x a video of the new players numbers/name plates getting installed above their lockers.

also, new recruit Cody Sokol. 16-year old from Michigan. A forward I think…

Wow can he handle the puck. I'll be going to few Gambler games to watch him this winter.

I am glad he found a home.

A month to the exhibition at Omaha, still no roster posted online. Looking forward to the season. I decided I am too old and not excited about Wrigley, so I will watch on TV. But I will be attending both home games each series and heading to Milwaukee again to the Fiserv in December.
