The Madison area and the University of Wisconsin are full of hockey history.
Much of that legendary history traces back to the late “Badger” Bob Johnson. He was the man known for the phrase “it’s a great day for hockey” and was an icon worldwide in the game of hockey.
Johnson was the UW hockey coach from 1966 to 1981 and lead them to become three-time national champions — 1973, 1977 and 1980 — before winning a Stanley Cup in 1991 in Pittsburgh.
