John Ramage has played 119 games for the University of Wisconsin men’s hockey team — the most on the current roster — so there’s some significance to how the senior defenseman and captain performed last week at Minnesota-Duluth.
Head Coach Mike Eaves gathered his exhausted team after 300-yard shuttle run testing inside the McClain on Wednesday to congratulate them on their hard work and to reaffirm what was already known – that seniors John Ramage (St. Louis) and Ryan Little (Fond du Lac, Wis.) will reprise their roles as Wisconsin men’s hockey captain and assistant captain for the 2012-13 campaign.
It’s official, Mike Eaves has his captain back. In a tweet this afternoon, Badger defenseman John Ramage confirmed that he’s returning to Madison for his final season of eligibility.
It appears that Mike Eaves will have his captain back next season. According to a tweet from Andy Baggot, Wisconsin defenseman John Ramage will likely be back for his senior season in Madison.
The Calgary Flames’ fourth round pick in the 2010 entry draft and his University of Wisconsin Badgers teammates had ambitions of a lengthy run into the NCAA post-season, only to see them snuffed out at the first stage of the Western Collegiate Hockey Association playoffs falling to the University of Denver in the deciding game of their best-of-three series.
Friday night’s Wisconsin men’s hockey game was a prime example of players having to walk, or in this case skate, a fine line when it comes to rules that protect their own safety.
