Hockey Night

The kids have been battling some illness the past week or so. But both seemed to be recovering well. So after a day filled with plenty of naps we decided to take in one final Badger Hockey game at the Kohl Center this season. This would be our first trip to a women's hockey game.
The Badger Women's Hockey team hosted Minnesota-Duluth in the quarterfinal round of the NCAA tourney. The winner advanced to the Frozen Four Finals. Wisconsin has won 3 National Championships and UMD 2 over the past 5 years. In fact of the 10 years there has been a Women's National Championship there have only been 3 different champions. UMD has 5, WI has 3 and Minnesota has 2.
Look who we saw at the at the game. In case you didn't know, Grady is a huge Bucky fan. When he saw him he ran up and gave him a huge hug.
Audra, Mommy and Grady and their buddy Bucky. One of the perks to going to a women's game is the crowds are smaller and access to Bucky is much better.

Wisconsin would trail 1-0 after the first period. They would score in the 2nd period to tie it up.
Wisconsin would score the eventual game winner in the 3rd period making the final score 2-1. They play Boston College next weekend for a chance to play for the National Championship.
