Badgers add goaltender for upcoming season

By

The Wisconsin Badger men’s hockey team has added a veteran goaltender for the upcoming 2020-21 season.

After three seasons at Michigan Tech, graduate transfer Robbie Beydoun comes to Madison to compete for playing time in the Badgers net.

In 28 career games with the Huskies, Beydoun posted a 10-11-2 record with a 2.28 goals-against average, a .919 save percentage and three shutouts.  Last season, Beydoun went 2-2-0 in net with a 2.32 goals-against average and .919 save percentage.

As a sophomore, Beydoun led Michigan Tech with a 1.98 goals-against average, a .931 save percentage and a pair of shutouts, including one against then-No. 10 Bowling Green.

Prior to college, Beydoun played in the USHL for Waterloo and Fargo.  He was a 2017 Third-Team USHL All-Star for Waterloo, ranking third in the league with a 2.22 goals-against average and sixth with 24 victories and a .919 save percentage.

 

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…]
