On Tuesday evening, the Wisconsin women’s hockey team announced that US Olympian Jesse Compher will be using her COVID year and joining the team for the 2022-2023 season. Compher is transferring from Boston University, where she was a top-10 finalist for the Patty Kazmaier Award in 2019.

Compher had a decorated career in Boston before coming to UW (this may sound familiar to Wisconsin hockey fans as Daryl Watts followed an extremely similar path) and also represented her country in the 2022 Olympics, earning a silver medal while scoring four points (three goals, one assist) for Team USA.
