Top prospect Luke Kunin leaves school, will sign with Minnesota Wild

I’ve got good news and better news for fans across the State of Hockey.

The good news? You no longer have a rooting interest in the Wisconsin Badgers Men’s Hockey program.

The better news? The reason for this is because their captain, Luke Kunin, is going pro.

Bob McKenzie of TSN reports:

Kunin officially started his path to the NHL today, signing an amateur tryout with the Iowa Wild.
