Wisconsin Women's Hockey 2024-2025

I'm personally quite alright with no Transfer pickups or losses. I don't begrudge anybody who wants to leave, but I enjoy watching players progress through their time at UW. I like watching good hockey, even if it's a Badger loss. Of course I love winning games, winning both aspects of the WCHA and the National Championship -and would love the dynasty to continue. But what I love most, is going to a regualar season game at LaBahn, cheering for last years freshmen to get out on the ice and have a great shift. I get 15+ games of this every year - I see get a National championship as a bonus.

I agree with you that we don't need any transfers especially with Eden and Picard coming back. Despite losing the Patty Kaz winner here is what the Badgers will have next year:
  • 83% of their goal scoring returning
  • 3 players who have finished in the top 3 of Patty Kaz award the past 2 years (Simms, Harvey, Edwards)
  • 5 members of the USA Gold Medal team at the World Championships (McNaughton, Edwards, Simms, Harvey, Eden)
  • The National goaltender of the year according to HCA: McNaughton
  • The world's best 18 year old freshman in Adela Sapovalivova from Czechia
Quite the lineup. Only 4 players exhausted their eligibility from last year: Wozniewicz (9 goals), O'Brien (26 goals), Kotlowski (0 goals) and Kuntz (saw action in 9 games as backup goalie).

The Badgers will be the clear #1 heading into the 2025-2026 season.

Simms and Edwards benefitted greatly playing with OB. Replacing her assists and face-off dominance is nearly impossible. I'm not saying you are wrong, my glass is just less full than yours. That being said, I don't think anything UM or TWSNBN have done enough to this point to over-take what UW is returning.
