Justice was finally served on Saturday when Wisconsin Badgers star Casey O’Brien received the 2025 Patty Kazmaier Memorial Award, bestowed upon the top player in NCAA Division I Women’s Ice Hockey. O’Brien was also a finalist in 2024, joined by teammate Kirsten Simms, though the 2024 award ultimately went to Cornell’s Izzy Daniel.
The 2025 Patty Kazmaier Memorial Award was sure to go to a Wisconsin Badger, with all three finalists hailing from Madison. O’Brien was flanked by juniors Laila Edwards and Caroline Harvey at the award ceremony in Minneapolis.
The best in @NCAAIceHockey.
