Madison, WI- It is time to Pack the Kohl again! Badger fans did a great job last Friday for the Women, with 14,430 fans in attendance at the Fill the Bowl game vs. St. Cloud State. However, it is time to do it again but this time for the Men’s team. The Wisconsin Men’s Hockey team will face the NUMBER ONE RANKED Golden Gophers.
Friday, February 10th
The Wisconsin Men’s Hockey team is hosting a stripe-out at the Kohl Center. Red and White are the colors, with each section alternating colors. Red vs. White sections will also participate in games with chances to win a souvenir puck after the game.
Saturday, February 11th
The Badgers will be honoring the 50th anniversary of the 1973 National Championship team. The 1973 team was the first Badger team to win an NCAA Division 1 Men’s Ice Hockey championship. The Wisconsin Men’s Hockey team defeated Denver 4-2 in the title game that year.
A little history lesson
The last time the Wisconsin Men’s Hockey team played the #1 ranked team at the Kohl Center was on February 6th and 7th of 2014 against the top-ranked Gophers. The Badgers would win 2-1 on both nights.
