Kyle Turris’ long season isn’t over yet. And that news, while not unexpected, was a second blow in two days to the University of Wisconsin hockey team.
One day after finishing his freshman season with the Badgers in an overtime loss in the NCAA Midwest Regional final, Turris signed Monday with the Phoenix Coyotes and left Madison on a night-time flight headed for the desert.
….It’s becoming part of the routine of having highly skilled players in college, but for the second time in three seasons, the Badgers have lost their top scorer to an early pro signing.
