MADISON, Wis. — The Wisconsin Women’s Hockey team is a little over a week into their return to the ice for the upcoming season.

And this group will look a lot different. The Badgers lost a majority of their scoring and goaltender from last year’s team that reached the NCAA Regional Finals. But that doesn’t mean they’re inexperienced.

UW has a handful of players returning from Olympic redshirt years that have Olympic and National team experience.

CAPTAIN CURL
Mark Johnson named senior forward Britta Curl the team’s captain for the 2022-23 season. Natalie Buchbinder, Nicole LaMantia, and Casey O’Brien will serve as alternate captains for the Badgers.

“I anticipated her one day being our captain”

That day is today for Britta Curl. The senior forward will serve as @BadgerWHockey‘s captain for the 2022-23 season. #CaptainCurl #Badgers #OnWisconsin pic.twitter.com/Wb19GoV5Gr
