Wisconsin Women's Hockey 2024-2025

[FiveHoleFrenzy]

From what I saw the players aren't too interested in playing a WI style of hockey.

That was mentioned during the stream as the level of compete was down from previous games between the women's teams. Likely do to a injury that happened to Natalie Buchbinder. The broadcasters mentioned that the players were told to take it a little more easy on each other as this is an exhibition league and is really just for fun.

. How would you describe the WI style of hockey?

Extreme effort laden offensive creativity with effort laden conscientious defense and being a tad physical. I saw one out of 3 in the little I watched. It was not compelling hockey for me.

just got back from our summer camp tour with my son.

Would be VERY surprised if we didn't land Nela Lopusanova

Season tix are available. $120 a ticket and $75 to park. I'm going back to 3 since there were times last year where I wanted a 3rd one and they were sold out.

You must have run into her wearing UW swag. She's got one heck of a Wikipedia page for a teenager. She's played in 30 games and has 135 pts.

I could only re-up for 2 and had to put a request in for a 3rd lol. Of course my request goes to the back of the line since all the big donor people need their tix ahead of me, a mega loyal and devoted fan. I'm sure some of them are, but not all of them. New season ticket requests should be sorted out by who had their existing tickets scanned the most get's top priority.

She had 14 pts on 6 games at nationals. Not too shabby.

Her Nationals performance only begins to tell the tale: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/410...sanova-hockey/

The muzzinator must not have wanted her because, as we have been told, the muzzinator gets who she wants…

Being serious for a minute, that is one heck of a pickup for the sinners…

She's what 16? She still has time to flip.

Lopusanova certainly can change her mind and flip her recruitment to another school. But my impression of her is she has clear ideas about the future she wants for herself. Hockey certainly is a big part of it. But I believe a quality education is as well, as her choice of BK as a school that offers both demonstrates. There are other colleges that do also, but I suspect UW’s recent history in hockey probably tilted to her choice of it as the place to pursue that passion. And I think this season’s recruiting class and the one for 25-26 will serve to validate her decision.

Now my question is how will her recruitment affect MJ’s tenure? I suspect he at least will want to be on the bench for her first season, perhaps even more. Coaching her should be a unique experience and challenge

It was more of a joke than anything. I do think you have some valid points about the future. I wouldn't be surprised if they won the NCAA's this season he calls it done.

You read my mind. Muzzy will give her a few years to develop, then put the screws to her to transfer.

[Ooftah]

The muzzinator is not an educator. She survives by stealing the talent other people develop. It might be a sustainable strategy in the NIL world but I hope they both go away soon.
