By

For the 16th straight year, at least one Wisconsin men’s hockey player heard his name called at the NHL draft as incoming freshmen Grant Besse and Jedd Soleway were both chosen on Sunday at the 2013 NHL Draft in New Jersey.

The Badgers boast 149 all-time NHL draft choices and 76 alumni who have actually skated in the NHL.  The 2013-14 Badgers now boast nine NHL draft picks on the roster.
