The most consistently vis- ible part of the celebration is a newly-designed logo to honor the anniversary. Se- nior assistant captain Ryan Little was in attendance to model the patch that will be worn all season on UW's jer- seys.
Honorary captains » The season will also see nightly honorary captains who will drop the puck before each game. Details on who and when are still to come.
Scraping the ice » Additional promotions are expect- ed throughout the season. Among those are a team schedule poster that will pay homage to the early era of Badger hockey in the 1920s and 1930s.
