It's Friday, I'm in Love

Saturday, wait
And Sunday always comes too late
But Friday, never hesitate...





BADGER MEN @ Duluth: FRI / SAT 7 PM

“We’re feeling great right now. It has been a tough stretch against some great teams, but it’s been fun and we hope we can keep this up.”

“Road trips are always big. We’re playing in a loud venue and it’s going to be exciting in that smaller rink. Duluth is a great team, they play similar hockey to us, and it’s definitely going to be a battle.”

-- Jordy Murray [Henson]


UW: 14-6-4 overall, 10-5-3 WCHA
