Mark Johnson is the first hockey player to have his sweater retired at UW.
Wisconsin announced on Thursday that Johnson will have his No. 10 jersey bearing his name retired up into the rafters of the Kohl Center on Feb. 9.
UW did confirm that the No. 10 will still be available in circulation for players to wear.
Johnson is highly respected among the UW athletics and hockey communities. As the all-time leading goal scorer in men’s hockey history, he scored 125 goals in 125 games. He won a national championship for the Badgers as a player in 1977 as a freshman.
