Wisconsin Badgers hockey: Excited for the outdoor encore (Badger Beat)

Itâ??s remembered fondly as one of the epic moments in the history of the University of Wisconsin menâ??s hockey program.

On Feb. 11, 2006, the Badgers staged their first outdoor game of the modern era, playing Ohio State in the Frozen Tundra Classic at Lambeau Field in Green Bay.

Those who were there remember how the weather cooperated â?? bright sunshine for the opening faceoff, steady temperatures in the upper 20s and no precipitation â?? how the 40,890 in attendance enjoyed themselves against the backdrop of â??Jump Aroundâ? and Lambeau Leaps, and how UW came away with a 4-2 victory.
