Badgers Women's hockey 2024-25

[Pokerbrat2000]

Oh Lord! Did I read this right? Ridder Arena has a seating capacity of 3,400 and they have tickets for sale for $20? That's downright embarrassing. What is wrong with college programs that they don't give hockey more exposure, so they get more media coverage? This whole thing of not wanting to broadcast women's sports is total ignorance. Look at all the wasted time they had when Caitlin Clark was in college. When they did show her games on TV they drew more than any of the Big 10 men's programs did.

The good old boy society never dies.

Yup. Pathetic Really.

Honestly, if they held the NCAA Finals in Madison, they probably sell out the Kohl Center or at least sell 8-10K tickets in advance and if the Badgers are playing, a packed house. Sadly, for whatever reasons, it seems that the State of Minnesota has had the Lions share of hosting the NCAA Women's NCAA Tourney. Not once, has it been in Wisconsin.

Bucky beat Duluth today by a score of 3-1. The game was played on Duluth's Home ice before what looked like about 200 people. Pathetic! The Badgers outshot Duluth by about a two-one margin, but the Bull Dogs kept themselves in the game with suburb goaltending by Gascon. She and McNaughton are probably the 2 best goalies in the country. CW-TV actually picked up the game, so I got to watch it!

The Badgers will play the winner of the next game, OSU VS Minnesota, at 2pm tomorrow for the WCHA Final Face-Off Championship.

I didn't watch it. If I recall, CW is the one camera and one announcer source I was mentioning earlier. This whole thing is a fiasco. It's like they're trying to kill the sport.

One more hurdle. Win the National Championship. I'm going to have to check on who's carrying the Regionals. I have a hunch it's going to be ESPNU based on the selection show. But just a guess. I'm going to make a guess here, but I think the Championship will be between the Badgers and Ohio State. The Buckeyes nailed the Badgers for their only loss in Columbus, and pulled off a win in an OT shoot out in Madison. They are a tough competitor. They should get #2 or #3 ranking and end up in the opposite bracket until the finals.
