The University of Wisconsin men’s hockey team received an oral commitment for the 2019-20 season from Brady Smith, a heralded 14-year-old defenseman from Chicago.
Smith has totaled 36 points (18 goals and 18 assists) in 37 games spanning two seasons of Bantam Major AAA play for the Chicago Mission, a member of the High Performance Hockey League (HPHL).
“Very excited and proud to announce my commitment to The University of Wisconsin. I’d like to thank everyone who has helped me along the way,” he posted on Twitter Monday night.
School officials are not allowed to comment on incoming recruits until they have signed a National Letter of Intent.
