A recruiting coup for the #Badgers. Megan Mossey, a tremendous two-way defender who tallied 11 points in 6 games at the 2026 U18 Worlds, has committed to Wisconsin. She previously committed to Minnesota under then-head coach Brad Frost. Projects to join Wisconsin in 2027-28.

Wrote this piece a year ago when the #Badgers had their worst NFL Draft showing in quite some time and now this year was much much worse. Hot damn.

The return to casual sports watching rolls on. Welcome to Clay Gould Ballpark, home of the UT-Arlington Mavericks. The. Sacramento State Hornets visit today for the first matchup in a three-game WAC conference series.

Add a couple B1G national titles to the list, @drewhamm5.bsky.social! Minnesota's Brooklyn Rowray takes the crown on balance beam, becoming just the 2nd Gopher ever and 1st since 1990 to win a gym national title. And, of course, it's Jordan Chiles for storied B1G program UCLA in floor exercise.

How 'bout them Gophers?!!? Minnesota entered the NCAA Tournament ranked 13th. Now it's headed to its first national final. After finishing behind UCLA in the regular season, B1G championships, and the NCAA regionals, the Gophers knock off the Bruins in the national semi. Hot damn.

Welcome to Dickies Arena, home of the 2025 NCAA women's gymnastics championships, my fourth NCAA title event in five weeks, but Mom's first ever! First, LSU, Georgia, Stanford and Florida compete for 2 spots in Saturday's national final. Oklahoma, Arkansas, UCLA, and Minnesota to follow. 📺 ESPN2

After one season at Wisconsin, #Badgers winger Blake Montgomery has singed his ELC with the Ottawa Senators. The 2024 4th round pick was set to turn 21-years-old next month after spending time in the USHL and OHL. 9 goals and 8 assists in 38 games for UW.

There has been a flip. Sydney Stoughton, an '09 forward in the projected 2027 recruiting class has committed to Penn State. She had committed to Minnesota last summer, but that social media post is now gone. Was on the 2025 USA U18 Worlds roster and logged 2 assists.

Just heard someone out in the wild use the phrase "jeepers creepers" and I want to be their friend

A 1,400 word exercise in catharsis as #Badgers fans finally get the opportunity to experience this level of devastation again. The latest chapter in Wisconsin's unfinished return to glory ends in a blessed kind of agony that is impossible without something UW lacked for far too long: hope.

Per a release from the Big Ten, former #Badgers athletic director Chris McIntosh will officially begin his new role as the conference's "Deputy Commissioner for Strategy" on May 1st, 2026. Statements from B1G commissioner Tony Petitti and McIntosh:

In the last 100 minutes: - Chris McIntosh out - Nick Oliver out - Doc Rivers out - Austin Rapp back

In what can only be described as the most-impactful personnel change for the #Badgers in the last 15 minutes, Wisconsin men's hockey assistant coach Nick Oliver is departing. He will lead his alma mater as the 2nd-youngest men's DI hockey head coach.

First sporting event as a casual observer in six months. Wind's blowing out at Jim Rogers Field and Charelle Aki just hit a 2-run bomb over the second fence to put the UNLV Rebels back on top.

You can never say it’s “good” to lose a national title game by one goal, but the fact that I was Locked In on Wisconsin men’s hockey for the first time in…a decade (??) is undeniably “good.” This team may have reunited UW’s passion for men’s hockey and Kedrick captures that here.

More coming from Vegas, but first, a huge thank you to all who clicked, read, and subscribed at badgerbreakaway.com this season. You helped a proudly independent publication cover not one, not two, but three college hockey national championships. Grateful for you, #Badgers fans.

Daniel Hauser gets a piece of his glove on DU's first goal and Ben Dexheimer hits the crossbar on a potential late-equalizer. The #Badgers literally came up two inches short of a national championship.

A few miscues led to a third-period comeback that doomed the Wisconsin #Badgers. Here's what happened.

Captain Ben Dexheimer on leaving the #Badgers better than 4 years ago: "We've kind of set the standard for Wisconsin now. I couldn't be more proud to leave a place in the hands of the guys that are coming back next year and the coaching staff that will keep this program afloat."

"I'm just so proud of our seniors and what they've done for this program. It wasn't easy. I'm just so thankful to be a Badger." - #Badgers alternate captain Joe Palodichuk

#Badgers captain Ben Dexheimer: "I couldn't be prouder of this team from the ups and downs throughout the year."

Dominate SOGs and lose the national championship. That's actually not the lesson the Wisconsin men's hockey team should have taken from the women's squad.

FINAL Denver 2, Wisconsin 1 For the third time in five seasons, it's the Denver Pioneers. #7 will have to wait for the #Badgers.

BREAKING: They have run out of CO2 on the tap lines at Beerhaus across the street from the T-Mobile Arena. #Badgers and Pioneers fans will be drinking from cans and bottles the rest of the day. No draft beer to be served for the foreseeable future.

Things are JUMPing in Las Vegas! #Badgers

The calm before the storm. Welcome to T-Mobile Arena where someone is winning a national championship today. Will the #Badgers get their 7th and first in two decades or will it be the Denver Pioneers' 11th and third in five seasons? How to watch, updates, more 👇

Someone's taking home this bad boy today. #Badgers

A collection from photographer Aaron Frey at yesterday's final practice at the #MFrozenFour. Plus, some words on a conversation #Badgers head coach Mike Hastings had with the winningest coach in NCAA hockey history this weekend.

First, it was Wisconsin #Badgers women’s hockey capturing its ninth national title. Then, the UW-River Falls Falcons women’s hockey team completed a D3-peat. Now, Wisconsin Badgers men’s hockey sits one win away from finishing off the third leg of the parlay.

Happy national championship game day #Badgers fans - - Signed, 9-year-old Kedrick

“I had a few tough years at Wisconsin hockey-wise, but I think I learned a lot about myself and making that move to Michigan State I think was crucial for me in my career,” Stramel said. STORY: ⬇️

No #Badgers men's hockey players were named All-Americans at tonight's award ceremony at Park MGM in Las Vegas. Goaltender Kyle McClellan was Wisconsin's last All-America selection as a second-teamer in 2024.

With video from the other place

The #Badgers won 35 games this season, which will be at least two more than the Milwaukee Bucks do this year. The Bucks will play 82 games. Wisconsin played half that.

What was once a glaring weakness for the #Badgers now appears to be a potential matchup advantage in Saturday's national title game. Inside the timely penalty kill turnaround at the #MFrozenFour

Kent Anderson, who scored the game-winner in 2OT, said the food situation was "a little disaster" with the hotel, but DU got fed at the rink.

The #Badgers have hit the ice for one last time-up ahead of tomorrow's national title game.

FINAL Wisconsin wins 2-1, and is on the doorstep of its first national title in 20 years. Here's how it happened. #Badgers

The Big Ten's last great hope at winning a men's hockey national championship being in the hands of this Wisconsin #Badgers team is quite the twist of fate

Fun fact about me is that I spent my summers as a youth doing hockey camps at DU back during the George Gwozdecky era.

To get to the title game, the #Badgers defeated a former conference foe it held an 0-3 record against in the NCAA Tournament. To win the title game, Wisconsin will have to beat a former conference foe it holds a 3-0 record against in the NCAA Tournament.

#Badgers fans seeing Michigan and Denver go to multiple OT periods.

I promise there will be plenty more wordsmithing in the future. badgerbreakaway.com

Nailed it, @kedrickstumbris.bsky.social

This was the only time before this year that both #Badgers hockey teams advanced to the Frozen Four in the same season.

Gonna put a lobbying effort behind this because it would personally be great for my business.
