Wisconsin Hosts Central Region Opponents at Northwoods Showcase

This weekend, October 11-13, the University of Wisconsin Badgers will play host to three strong Central Region opponents in the second annual Northwoods Showcase in Eagle River, WI. The event, hosted at the unique and historic Eagle River Dome in the idyllic Northern Wisconsin locale, is the perfect welcome to the fall colors as the season continues to pick up.

Attending this year alongside the Badgers will be DePaul University, Michigan Tech University, and Northern Michigan University. Depaul, a member of the Northern Collegiate Hockey League (NCHL), is coming off of a fantastic season in 23-24 which saw the Blue Demons qualify for Regionals. Michigan Tech, currently an independent but once upon a time, a founding member of the WCCHA, has been highly competitive in recent years, always floating around the top 20 in the region. Northern Michigan, also an independent but a previous WCCHA member, looks to be on a strong rebuild following a few challenging seasons. All three teams should prove strong competition for the Badgers and amongst each other over this 3-day event.

Tickets are available at the door. There will be team merchandise sales, and a 50/50 raffle at each game.
