Mike Eaves doesn’t just train hockey players. He raises them.

CINCINNATI, Ohio — The Wisconsin Badgers had a mantra this season. With their eyes set on winning a national championship, they likened their quest to an ascent up a mountain.

One year ago, the Penn State Nittany Lions dug themselves out of a 2-0 hole to beat the Badgers 3-2 in overtime, effectively spoiling UW's at-large postseason bid. With the Big Ten title on the line and the tournament just weeks away, Wisconsin was not about to let history repeat itself this weekend.
The 2014 Winter Olympics officially came to a close this past week, but not before the United States, and the world, learned the name of a very unique 18-year-old.

Perhaps the Badgers should consider adopting a new mantra for the season: There’s no place like home.
A coach in my Under-10 soccer days once gave me some valuable advice: “The goalie is an obstacle, not a target.”

Wisconsin (2-2-0 Big Ten, 6-5-1 overall) wanted to prove that they could bounce back after two tough road losses against conference foe Minnesota. When Penn State (0-2-0, 3-9-1) came to the Kohl Center for the second Big Ten matchup in as many weeks, the Badgers were ready to get their message across.
Big Ten hockey officially makes its debut in Madison this weekend as Wisconsin (0-0-2 Big Ten, 4-5-1 overall) welcomes new conference rival Penn State (0-0-0, 3-7-1) to the Kohl Center for a weekend series beginning Friday night.
There’s a white fence in the neighborhood of Newtown, Conn. Different from your ordinary yard staple, this one contains 26 pickets, each adorned with the name of a child or adult who didn’t make it out of Sandy Hook Elementary School. It has been nearly a year since 20-year-old Adam Lanza awoke, shot his mother in their home and went to Sandy Hook where his shooting rampage left 20 first-graders dead, as well as six teachers and workers before taking his own life. Last week a detailed report was released of the crime, outlining each event in excruciating detail but still leaving many questions forever unanswered. There is no clear motive or reasoning. Adam Lanza did not leave a suicide note explaining why he chose Sandy Hook to carry out his crime. One thing that remains undoubtedly clear is Lanza’s arsenal of weapons. Armed with an assault rifle, shotgun and pistol, he made his way into the elementary school and fired off over 150 bullets in a span of less than five minutes. That’s one bullet every two seconds. Following the second-deadliest school shooting in U.S. history, there was an immediate outcry over gun control in this country, with debates between Democrats and Republicans, NRA members and anti-gun activists, raging at an all-time high. But with other governmental issues like the shutdown and admissions of NSA spying, the gun debate has slowly receded into the background of discussions our leaders are having.
