Wisconsin hockey loses forward, adds a goaltender via transfers

By

Former Wisconsin hockey forward Sean Dhooghe entered the transfer portal last week and will leave the program.  Dhooghe tweeted late last week that he’ll play his final season at Arizona State.

It’s not known at this time if Dhooghe will have to sit out a year under NCAA transfer rules, or if he’ll be allowed to play immediately.  The NCAA is considering allowing athletes to transfer once during their career without penalty, which could go into place for next season.

The Badgers beat Arizona State twice during the 2019-20 season but Dhooghe sat out both games with a knee injury.  He didn’t appear in any of the team’s final eight games, even though he was physically ready to return.

Wisconsin and Arizona State could face off again next season, as part of the field for the inaugural Holiday Face-Off at Milwaukee’s Fiserv Forum in December.  The pairings for that event haven’t been announced yet. [Read more…]
