07/08 Recap: Tom transferred from St. Lawrence last school year and by NCAA rules had to sit out the season. Tom did practice w/ the team, spending most of the season paired w/ Craig Johnson to even out the defensemen.
08/09 Thoughts: No offense to Tom, but I’m still trying to figure out why he transferred to Wisconsin. His father was an athlete at UW for a year (wrestling), so there are definitely ties from that angle. Wisconsin is loaded w/ forwards this season, and Tom didn’t stand out during his freshman season at St. Lawrence. I’m always up for a surprise, perhaps Tom will provide that for the Badgers this season.
Prediction: 6 games, 1-1-2
