Big Ten suspends Wisconsin’s Ahcan

January 19, 2021 By Bill Scott

The Big Ten Conference has suspended Wisconsin Badger hockey forward Roman Ahcan for one game for an incident that occurred in the second game of a two-game series against Arizona State on Sunday night.

Ahcan received a five minute major and game misconduct for contact to the head when he took a run at former Badger and current Arizona State forward Sean Dhooghe.

Ahcan will have to sit out Thursday night’s Big Ten series opener at Penn State.  Ahcan has a goal and five assists in 10 games for the Badgers this season.

12th ranked Wisconsin sweeps Arizona State

January 18, 2021 By Bill Scott

Linus Weissbach

The 12th ranked Wisconsin men’s hockey team completed a two-game sweep of Arizona State with a 5-2 victory on Sunday night at LaBahn Arena.

Linus Weissbach and Cole Caufield scored power play goals in the first period and Mike Vorlicky lit the lamp in the second for a 3-1 lead.

The Sun Devils scored during a delayed 5-minute major penalty against Roman Ahcan with just over seven minutes left to play, but the Badgers killed off the penalty thanks in large part to freshman goaltender Cameron Rowe, who made 11 of his 23 saves in the third period.

Jason Dhooge and Brock Caufield added empty net goals to finish off the win and sweep of the Sun Devils, who seven weeks ago, swept the Badgers.

Wisconsin went 2-for-3 on the power play, ending a three-game drought and an 0-for-7 stretch.

The Badgers (8-6-0, 6-4-0-0-1-0 Big Ten) resume Big Ten play this Thursday and Friday at Penn State.

On Friday, we learned that because of COVID, four forwards would be unavailable to the Wisconsin (4-4-0, 4-3-0-0-1-0 Big Ten) men’s hockey team for it’s weekend series against Arizona State and the Sun Devils (2-3-1) took advantage and beat the shorthanded Badgers 8-5 and 3-1 at LaBahn Arena.

Hockey Badgers fall to Wolverines in overtime

November 21, 2020 By Bill Scott

The 14th ranked Wisconsin men’s hockey team was looking to earn a split with 6th ranked Michigan on Friday night, but fell 2-1 in 3-on-3 overtime at LaBahn Arena.

The game was scoreless after one period before Wisconsin (2-2-0, 2-2-0-0-1-0 Big Ten) junior Roman Ahcan notched his first goal of the season just two minutes into the second period on the power play.  Ahcan got a perfect cross ice feed from senior Tarek Baker.

The Wolverines (4-0-0, 2-0-0-1-0-0 Big Ten) tied the game 1-1 with six minutes left in the second period.

The two teams were scoreless in the third before the Wolverines scored the overtime game winner with 26.6 seconds left in OT.

UW goaltender Robbie Beydoun stopped 34 of 36 shots on goal in the loss.

Badger sophomore Cole Caufield is still looking for his first goal of the season after leading the Big Ten in that category last year, but he dished out his fourth assist of the season, one in each of the teams four games.

Wisconsin has a quick turn-a-round on Monday and Tuesday, Nov. 23-24 with a pre-Thanksgiving series against No. 10 Penn State.
