With the recent release of the refined Big Ten Hockey schedule, leading goal-scorer Cole Caufield announced that he plans on staying in Madison to compete with the Badgers.
“As of right now I’m a Badger. I made a promise to come back here and be a Badger,” Caufield said. “So this is where I’m at right now, and I’m just going to give my all here.”
During the 2019 NHL Draft, when the Stevens Point native was only a freshman, Caufield was selected as the first choice (15th overall) pick by the Montreal Canadiens.
Prior to the announcement of the upcoming NCAA schedule, the Canadiens were actively seeking other options for their star draftee to train before he likely signs a contract with them the following year.
