With 125 wins, two WCHA regular season championships, three conference tournament titles and four straight Frozen Four appearances, Wisconsin's senior class has had a career that most collegiate players can only dream of.Yet for as much as they've won, those six players—Sarah Nurse, Sydney McKibbon, Mikayla Johnson, Mellissa Channell, Jenny Ryan and Ann-Renée Desbiens—have always been defined as much by their failures as by their successes.While they won the WCHA, they couldn't beat Minnesota in Minneapolis. While they got a No. 1 ranking, they couldn't convert it into a title. While their star goaltender set NCAA records, she didn't win the Patty Kazmaier. Even making the Frozen Four every year turned into a negative after three straight semifinal losses to the Gophers.It's easy to see this year as an extension of that pattern. Despite holding the No. 1 ranking the entire year, boasting the top offense and defense and the country's best player and avoiding another matchup with Minnesota, the Badgers still couldn't capture the program's fifth title.But these players are far too talented and accomplished to be defined by what they couldn't do.They routinely gave Minnesota—a team that was one game away from five straight national championships—all it could handle. They set NCAA records for attendance, not once but twice, and helped establish LaBahn Arena as one of women's college hockey's premier venues.Mostly importantly, they maintained a tradition of success and created a team culture that has put their successors in a position to succeed even more. The younger members of this year’s team repeatedly cited the seniors as a major factor in their smooth transition to Madison and the college game.
