Re: Wisconsin 2009-2010 Season

I think that WI had the kind of season I had more or less anticipated. They lost key contributors . . . not only to graduation but to the Olympics. But, like others, I think losing the coach was the most significant issue. And, I think their performance closer to the end of the season is indicitave of that. I'd almost say there was a "hold-over" type of effect early in the season but as the season went on Johnson's absence was more and more evident. There's no doubt in my mind that had Johnson been present the current team would be in the top 6 or so.

UMD has had success this season mainly because they have their head coach. UMD's talent this year is probably not as good as some and certainly less than some of the other top 10 teams but the presence of one of the best coaches in women's hockey makes all the difference.

I certainly expect Bucky to be right there again next season.

I agree on both counts. The Badgers are a good team, they just had too many things going against them this year.
I think that next year when they have their regular coach back for the entire season you will see a team that is a lot more diciplined and consistent.

Two of Wisconsin’s four 2010 recruits were named to the 20-player roster for the 2010 U.S. Women's National Under-18 Team by USA Hockey today. The team will compete in the 2010 International Ice Hockey Federation World Women's Under-18 Championship, to be held for the first time on U.S. soil from March 27-April 3 in the Chicago suburb of Woodridge, Ill.

Brittany Ammerman, sister of current Badger standout Brooke, and Alex Rigsby both return as members from the 2009 U.S. Women's National Under-18 Team.

The U.S. Women's National Under-18 Team is the two-time defending world champion, after capturing gold in Füssen, Germany, in 2009, and in Calgary, in 2008.

The Western Collegiate Hockey Association announced its 2009-10 post-season honors Thursday and three Badgers earned recognition.

Brooke Ammerman and Stefanie McKeough were named to the All-WCHA Third Team while Brianna Decker joined McKeough on the All-WCHA Rookie Team.

Ammerman finds herself on the third team All-WCHA squad for the second year in a row. The River Vale, N.J., native led Wisconsin in scoring with 38 points, 20 goals and 18 assists. Her eight game-winning goals and four power-play goals were a team best.

For the third straight year, Wisconsin placed two Badgers on the WCHA All-Rookie team. McKeough, who was placed on the third team All-WCHA and All-Rookie squad, had a team-leading plus-25 rating. In 36 games, McKeough notched one goal and 14 assists from the blue line this season.

Decker, a three-time WCHA Rookie of the Week, missed nine games due to injury and still ranked third on the team in scoring. Decker had 15 goals, the second-most on the team, and 12 assists for 27 points.

Re: Wisconsin 2009-2010 Season

So...are the Badger women done for the season? Im guessing that with having a medicore record and being eliminated so early in the WCHO tourney that getting into the NCAA tourney is a pretty unrealistic expectation.

They are currently tied for 13th in the PairWise Rankings. With an 8-team field and no games remaining, they needed to win the WCHA tournament and the accompanying autobid.

Yes

I would second that. Just look at their Pairwise and National Rankings

Also given the fact that the team has not practiced since last week they are not planing on making the NCAA's either.

The NCAA announced Wednesday that Kyla Sanders will represent the University of Wisconsin at this year’s Frozen Four Skills Challenge. The fifth annual Skills Challenge will be held Friday, April 9, at Ford Field in Detroit.

Sanders finished the season with five goals and six assists, concluding her UW career with 77 points (41 goals and 36 assists). Sanders was one of four seniors this season, along with Jasmine Giles, who was selected as an alternate for the event.

Re: Wisconsin 2009-2010 Season

Badgers join Ohio State and Colgate today as schools seeking an assistant coach. It appears that neither Jackie Friesen or Peter Johnson will be retained permanently (not that expected). The Initial deadline listed to apply is April 12 however it does say they will continue to take applications until they fill the position, which tells me that they are in no hurry.

Maybe something will be decided once the coaches return from the annual meetings.
 
Re: Wisconsin 2009-2010 Season

Hopefully the Badgers can get a very good or even a great coach. IMO, poor coaching was a major reason why they stuggled towards the end of the season.
