The Badgers represent the University of Wisconsin–Madison and were coached by A. K. Viner in his 1st season. Season After having previously fielded a club team, the school's athletic council agreed to promote the ice hockey team to 'minor' varsity status in 1921.https://search.library.wisc.edu/digital/AJDSN2NHMK3CYY8N The Badger Vol. [XXXVII] 1923 University of Wisconsin Madison September 8, 2023 Dr. A. K. Viner was brought in to lead the inaugural team and practice began on the new ice rink which was constructed on the lower campus by flooding one of the athletic fields. The team was able to arrange a slate of eight games and had their work cut out for them. The strong competition began at the season's outset when they played host to the Milwaukee Athletic Club. In front of a large crowd for the first game, the Badgers fell to the amateur club but the defense performed admirably after some early jitters. Minnesota arrived the following weekend and the defense remained in fine form, holding the Gophers to 3 goals in each game. Unfortunately, the Wisconsin offense had yet to appear and could only muster a single goal in the two matches. After a week off, the team travelled north to play its first road games in a return series with Minnesota. This time, the northerners made sure to leave no doubt as to who were the better squad by hammering the Badgers in both games. Minnesota scored 19 goals in the two games to just 2 from Wisconsin and swept the first ever season series between the two Big Ten teams.https://www.dropbox.com/sh/g0m798c4wzt4as0/AADlCSyuL78TrDyCaYJT-Ib2a/1922/02/07?dl=0&preview=1922-02-07.pdf&subfolder_nav_tracking=1 Gopher Hockey Team Makes it Four Straight The Minnesota Daily February 7, 1922 September 8, 2023 Wisconsin returned home and awaited their first series with Michigan, who had yet to officially recognize their team. While the games weren't official, they still resulted in another two losses for Wisconsin. One silver lining for the Badgers was that their offense finally seemed like it was beginning to work together. The final game of the year came against the yet-undefeated Notre Dame squad and the Irish kept their streak alive with a shutout victory over the Badgers. Roster yes Oscar R.
