With a seven-member senior class and 15 players in at least their junior seasons, the Wisconsin men's hockey team can consider itself an upperclass team for the first time since the 2005-06 season. History suggest upperclass team's are set up for success, and with the Badgers returning all but three contributors from last season's third-place WCHA team, all signs point towards that being the case.
After a playing career that ended with the most prolific scoring numbers in Wisconsin hockey history and an NCAA title, Mike Eaves returned to his alma mater for the 2002-03 season as the fifth coach in the modern era of Badger hockey. Now through seven years behind the bench, Eaves has added to his legacy, bringing the program's sixth NCAA title to Madison.
