Late Saturday, after Princeton and Boston College had won their respective league tournaments to provide the University of Wisconsin with the final push it needed to move up in the PairWise rankings and qualify for the NCAA Division I men’s hockey tournament, UW defenseman Davis Drewiske got a few phone messages.
“I was talking to (teammate) Michael Davies,” Drewiske said after practice Sunday night. “While I was on the phone with him I got four other calls, four other voice mails.
“No one said a word in any of the voice mails. It was just a bunch of screaming and yelling.
“We’re just really excited.”
