Heading into the 2019-2020 NCAA Hockey season, the University of Wisconsin men’s hockey team faced high pre-season expectations, but they posted a disappointing 14-20 record and failed to deliver a NCAA Tournament berth for the sixth straight season. This is a glaring issue for a perennial program that has produced loads of professional talent.
Since Head Coach Tony Granato’s arrival to Madison in 2016, the Badgers have yet to make the NCAA Tournament and have posted a 62-72-12 (.466) overall record. But, with a talented freshman class arriving and lower pre-season expectations, Wisconsin could shock the college hockey world this upcoming season.
