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

Timothy A said:
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!

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.

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.
