There has been a lot of player movement in college athletics with many seniors taking advantage of their “COVID year” to play an additional season, sometimes at an entirely new school. The Wisconsin Badgers women’s hockey team was not immune to change as forward Dara Greig and defender Teagan Grant put their names into the transfer portal earlier this offseason.
The defending national champs do have reinforcements on the way, however. UW announced on Friday that the team was welcoming two new defensemen for the 2021 season, freshman Sophie Helgeson and Cornell grad transfer Kendra Nealey.
