It’s been just over a year since the Badgers took the ice at Wrigley Field in January 2025, and sophomore forward Ryan Botterill still holds that day close to his heart.

Being a multi-sport athlete has helped Botterill develop in many ways, including shaping him into the competitive, gritty and compassionate teammate he is today.
