The Gopher Women’s Hockey team hosts their arch rival the Wisconsin Badgers this weekend as Minnesota will honor its six seniors. While Wisconsin has the WCHA Regular Season Championship and the #1 Overall NCAA seed already locked up, the Gophers have a lot to play for this weekend besides just pride. Minnesota needs at least one point to lock up the #2 seed in the WCHA playoffs, and a win over the Badgers would go a long way to locking up home ice for the NCAA Quarterfinals.
The Gophers and Badgers have had a stories rivalry over the years.
