Every player on the UW-Madison men’s hockey team comes with a particular set of battle wounds: constellations of bumps, bruises, black eyes, scrapes, sores and scars; concussions, sprains, cuts, broken bones and missing teeth that helmets and padding couldn’t prevent. If they’re not collected while the clock is running during a game, they can accumulate quickly when fistfights break out with rival teams.

The Badgers (1-0) did exactly what they were supposed to on college basketball’s opening night: receive their Final Four rings and dominate a lesser opponent. Head coach Bo Ryan’s squad began their 2014-’15 campaign with a 62-31 dismantling of Northern Kentucky (0-1).
