12/11/09 - The Best Goals of the 2009-10 Season So Far

Since I'm home recovering from knee surgery instead of in Mankato with the team, here is a collection of my 10 favorite goals of the season so far. Let me know if you would have ranked them differently!

11/2/09 - Sweep! Sweep!

In honor of Wisconsin's first-ever sweep of Minnesota at the Kohl Center and first anywhere against the Gophers since 2006-07, here is a video with all nine goals scored by the Badgers this past weekend. Enjoy!

10/16/09 -A Litttle UW Hockey Fix

With the team off this weekend, I've added a couple videos to the site to review the first three weeks of the season. First, here is a highlight video with all six goals scored by the Badgers this season, including the three goals from last Sunday's 3-1 win at Bemidji State.

Second, here are all of the goals scored during the Red-White Scrimmage before the season started.

Just 22 days until the season starts!

8/24/09 - USA! USA!

Congratulations to the eight current and former Badgers who were named to the 23-player U.S. National Team roster. With Team USA on the mind, today's post includesUSA-specific individual stats for the past three years.

The naming of the national team also helps lock in the 2009-10 UW squad, so season previews and analysis of the Badgers will be coming soon.

Hockey is just around the corner!

7/16/09 - Jessie Vetter - Highlights and More!

Today's post is all about Jessie Vetter, the best goalie in women's college hockey history and one of the best in college hockey history period. The post includes a career highlight reel for Vetter as well as a goalie stats rating system that I developed and named after her.

7/13/09 - Reliving the 2009 NCAA championship game

Since it's been almost four months since the 5-0 win over Mercyhurst in the championship game, I figured now was a good time to post a collection of the goals from that contest. As you'll often see when I do cutups of goals, I like to start the clip from the point when puck possession was established. That thought process is part of what led to my goal analysis research on the team.

Also, I've added a page with quick links to each of the videos on the site. It can be accessed over in the SideBar on the right and I'll see if I can't also figure out a good permanent spot for it in the main column of the page as well.

7/12/09 - Welcome to wisconsinwomenshockey.pbworks.com

Welcome to wisconsinwomenshockey.pbworks.com! My name is Adam Augustine and this page is designed for fans of the University of Wisconsin women's hockey team. For anyone who has tried to follow the team -- which has played in four straight national championship games and won NCAA crowns in 2006, 2007 and 2009 -- finding highlights and content about the team can be very difficult at times. As a former sports information director for the team, I think I know that problem better than most.

This page is meant to just provide a bit more content for Badger fans. To start with, much of the content will be video compilations from this past season, when the team shattered nearly every team offensive record in the book.

In 2008-09, the UW women's team scored an amazing 207 goals, by far the most in school history. For my first video installment, here are some of the best goals of the 08-09 season. And trust me, I should know - I've been working on a goal analysis project of the team and have studied 130 of the goals in great detail. These are not only some of my favorities because of the storyline behind them, but also because they represent the best style of hockey played by the team all season. Make sure to check out the Top 10 at the end of the video - it starts right around the 2:00 mark!
