Former Badger Makes Big Impression During Professional Hockey Debut

Former Wisconsin Badger hockey standout Trent Frederic earned a lot of attention during his professional debut.  The Boston Bruins rookie went viral on Twitter when he and the Winnipeg Jets’ Brandon Tanev swapped punches.  The 20-year-old Frederic had just been called up Monday and Tanev went after him in the second period Tuesday.  A lot of attention was given to the fight because Frederic’s happy parents, Gaye and Bob, were in the crowd and were seen celebrating after their son dropped the gloves.  The reason it went viral?  His parents’ combination fist pump and high-five missed.
