Wisconsin rules college hockey!

The University of Wisconsin-Madison's men's hockey team won the NCAA national championship last night. Their women's team won the national championship a couple weeks ago. I think it's safe to say that Wisconsin (my alma mater) rules college hockey.

This was the sixth NCAA championship for the Badger men, but the first since 1990. I was at the first one, in 1973 in the old Boston Garden. But there was no college hockey for women back then.

One of the interesting factoids coming out of this that one family has a member on each of the squads. I wonder if there has ever been a brother-sister pair on national championship teams in the same sport before.
