Wisconsin Women's Hockey 2026-27

Interest (and demand) in women's sports has outpaced inflation exponentially in that time frame.

I remember buying a playoff volleyball game less than 10 years ago for under $10.

Those days are gone.

Do you really want to do this all again?

OK. Once again, here's my "problem".

You guys won't say how you came to know a piece of information. When I ask WHY you won't say how you came to know this piece of information, you won't answer that question, in any substantive way.

I am left to draw my own conclusion. And that conclusion I draw is you guys know that you were told this information - directly, or maybe one degree removed from directly - in confidence; that it was in some way confidential, and should not be repeated. And at some level, consciously or sub-consciously, you *know* you're not supposed to be sharing it. Otherwise, there'd be no reason for you to not simply explain how you came to know it. You know at some level that you, or your "source", has violated that "confidence".

Put more simply, as I have repeatedly said, if you know but aren't supposed to say, THEN DON'T SAY!

I agree that those days are gone, but what is frustrating is that the fan experience has not improved at all with the increase in prices. If anything, it has gotten worse. (This has been a topic of conversation over the years so I won't repeat what we've lost.) I understand that one answer to this is that "times have changed and everything is more expensive, so this is just a 'treading water' rise in price--you don't get anything more for the increased price." But the AD never says that. If the AD says anything, it's to tout the great "fan experience." Volleyball's facilities (ex. jumbotron) and atmosphere (ex. band present for every game) have all been improved in the last four years. Women's hockey facilities and atmosphere have not. So, the escalating prices are frustrating.

I told you that I heard it from a family member of hers....and it wasn't shared in confidence, on the sly or in any way indicating that it was breaking news...it was "she got a great job with a medical device company and is really excited"...

You want me to be more specific than THAT???

You've got serious issues my man. Seek counseling.

I can not imagine being a person in your life when you are this argumentative

Once more, it is a simple concept. Would the family member have any reason to object to you NAMING them specifically as the person who told you about Enright's decision, etc? Would they have any reason to not want you to disclose the circumstances under which you and they had this conversation? If they would have no such objection, then why not simply do so. If yes, then there is some level of "confidentiality" that you are not comfortable disclosing, because you're aware of theit 'discomfort'.

And while we're at it, is there some reason why you are posting here anonymously? If it's all so 'out in the open", etc, why be anonymous?

Disagree 1000%. I want as much "inside" info as possible to be shared here. One of the best parts of this community, is hearing the behind-the-scenes stuff.

If it's so juicy that someone wouldn't want it to be repeated, then it's all the more interesting and valuable.

Milani as Primerano did will have here eyes opened to the reality that she should not have accelerated her college career

Agree! She scored goals against a very weak u18 goal squad! Last year at the nationals she didn’t look so hot lol imo tremblay will turn heads and she has the size. Nela hasn’t played enough games against top North American players but I believe she has a much higher ceiling then Milani.

Milani will struggle mightily in college. Watched her extensively the last few years and I just don't get the hype

100%!!! She didn’t do much at nationals and bigger players knocked her easily off the puck and she would try to go up the middle and get taken out. She comes from a hockey family and got pushed through because of that. There are 3-4 ED players I watched last year that I would put ahead of her.

That's more than a little petty. JMHO of course.

This whole conversation reminds me of the time I shared some information with you about one of the Badger players I know, I told you who I heard it from (her dad), and you still disputed the information. It was bizarre and wild, just like this back-and-forth is.

You're entitled to your opinion. I'm entitled to mine.

If you want the topic to "go away", then stop coming back to it.

Actually, what's happening here is you're telling people to stop sharing their inside information, and I'm encouraging them to continue to share it, even without full disclosure of their source.

Thought it was important to make clear that not everyone wants them to shut up. In fact I think you're the only one.
 
You seem crazy and no one needs to dox their sources… why would he have lied? Also, I don’t know her but UW was taken off her IG and she has a medical sales job… anyone could figure out she was not coming back. Apparently you think college should be 5 years and everyone wants to be there forever. It was pretty obvious she is done and over hockey.

Look at the thread. After Enright's name was taken down from the roster page, I posted "disappointed... good luck to her" etc.

And since then I have ONLY responded to posts by "BadgerDad", and you and whoever else has brought it back up.

If you guys want it to "go away", then stop coming back to it. But regardless, my opinions aren't going to change, and my unanswered questions will remain my questions.

Expecting people to name a family member source BY NAME in a public forum that is indexed and can be searched...

This is one of the dumber angles I've seen on here.

You don't need this information and to be honest, maybe YOU should walk away and ignore the posts that you believe are unsubstantiated. That would be a lot easier than 10 pages of back and forth where you look like a fool.

What a stupid hill do die on.
