Hockey: Incoming UW Players Head For NHL Development Camps

If playing against top-flight competition makes you a better college hockey player — and it apparently does — the Wisconsin Badgers figure to benefit from this summer’s National Hockey League development camps.  Seventeen of the 27 players expected to be on U-W’s roster next winter will be getting N-H-L-level experience.  Alex Turcotte, Cole Caufield, Ryder Donovan and Owen Lindmark are headed to the camps after being selected in last weekend’s N-H-L Draft.  Waiting for them will be eight Badgers who were previously drafted and five who received free agent invitations.
