I would too but I don't think this person exists. I will volunteer to be that person, I just need some coin to finance the gig. Maybe Tristar Scoop can do some digging around for us. All I do it look up if they players have/had played for or at least been invited to tryout for the U teams of their countries, hence my interest on the previous posts in this thread. From reading various comments, as long as MJ is the coach one can almost assume UW will be loaded.
And a big thanks to Chuck and the 5th Q for all the info they provide!
Ok I decided to find info on the 5 incoming freshman this season at UW on my own and here is what I came up with:
Emily Clark, F - a 2 time member of the Canadian U-18 World Championship team (2012, 2013). Won 2 gold medals. Also a member of this years Canadian U-22 series team that competed last week in Calgary. Played her prep hockey at the Okanagan Hockey Academy. Seems to be the total package. Great in both ends of the ice.
Lauren Williams, D - played for the Whitby Wolves of the PWHL. Also played for Team Ontario Blue at the Canadian National Championships. Great size at 5'9. Will definitely be a great addition to the blue line.
Maddie Rolfes, D- a 2 time member of Team USA U-18 World Championship team (2013,2014). won 2 silver medals. Played her prep hockey at Shattuck St. Mary's. A 4 time National Camp attendee. Great skater and has offensive punch from the back end.
Baylee Wellhausen, F - a 2 time member of Team USA World Championship team (2013,2014) won 2 silver medals. Played her prep hockey at Shattuck St. Mary's. Had the highest single season point total at Shattuck (79) since Amanda Kessel. Also a 4 time National Camp attendee. Very hard worker to go along with high end talent.
Annie Pankowski, F - the cream of the crop of all the incoming freshman nationally. A member of last seasons USA National team. Was the final forward cut before the Olympics. A 3 time member of the USA U-18 team. Also a member of this summers USA U-22 team that competed in Calgary last week. Set all kinds of scoring records at NAHA over her years there. She should be an immediate impact player at UW and nationally this season.
This looks like a pretty exceptional group of players! Very excited to see this group progress and how each player is utilized by coach Johnson.. Should be a fun year!!
Does anyone have any info on what is the best way to catch Badger Women's hockey games on line? Are they ever on TV?
It's a pretty good platform. The "College Sports LIVE" thing seems to be just a rebranding, but there are two big differences that I see over last year:Just in the last day or 2 a new product was launched called "College Sports Live". It's 9.95 a month or 99.95 a year and it gives you access to on-line streams for all home games for all participating schools. I believe this includes all the Big Ten schools. In the past you would buy "All-Access" and it would just be good for your school's home games. I have not been able to find a list of all the schools that are part of "College Sports Live" but they say it's over 100.
For away games at non-participating schools you still have to buy that school's video product. It's usually $9 or $10 for 24 hours or a month, something like that. For example, last year UMD was with "America One", St Cloud State was with "Stretch Internet", and UND was with "Jump TV". I wouldn't be surprised if these schools still have the same associations this year.
Occasionally a school offers free video like Mankato did last year.
Others may be able to add to this, or correct my errors!
There are a few games on BTN. I know last year's Fill the Bowl game was.Are they ever on TV?
How long of a walk would it be from LaBahn to the McClimon Complex? I'm thinking of doing a W hockey / M soccer double header 10/18.

Audrey Warner is no longer committed to Wisconsin. She will be attending Harvard University.
1 week from today the ice shavings hit the boards. I'm hoping UW crushes Lindenwood like the old days with the additional firepower, but they have an excellent goalie, so I'm thinking the scores will be similar to last year. The most important thing is to get some chemistry going before they play the dawgs as things build up to the what is assumed to be 2 titanic battles with our neighbors to the west on the 17th and 18th.
Next weekends games at Lindenwood will also be played without Turnball, Debiens, Clarke, Channell, and Nurse. These 5 will be at the Hockey Canada Festival.. A chance for others to step up and show what they can do.. It should be interesting!
