Southern Wisconsin Sled Hockey welcomes new players
MADISON, Wis. (WMTV) – Any day is a great day for hockey, especially in the Madison area. This Saturday, Southern Wisconsin sled hockey celebrated their national championship by inviting community members to try sled hockey.
The Skeeters won the Tier 3 Youth National Championships in Philadelphia and welcomed new skaters to the ice. Sled hockey only differs from traditional hockey in equipment, using special sleds, the players move with two sticks with metal pick.
New kids stopped by Madison ice arena to give it a try and for the coach, providing inclusion in a sport he loves and seeing the joy it brings the players is what it’s all about.
“They’re just looking for opportunities to participate and be out there with their friends and be able to take part in a sport,” Wisconsin Skeeters head coach Tod Koeber. “I love hockey and the kids when they’re coming off the ice, they’re happy, it’s a great environment for them to be with folks who are just very supportive and learn and grow teammanship and sportsmanship and everything else that goes along with it.”

What to do during a flood warning
- If advised to evacuate, do so immediately.
- Use a battery-operated radio or television to get the latest emergency information.
- Do not walk through floodwater. Just six inches of floodwater can sweep you off your feet if it is moving swiftly.
- Turn around, don’t drown; do not drive into a flooded street. Cars can be swept away by two feet of moving water or there may be unseen damage to the road. If you come to a flooded area turn around and go another way. Most flood-related deaths are caused by people driving through water.
- Watch out for fire hazards.
- Move to higher ground.
- Stay alert, turn weather notifications on.
- Do not allow children to play in flowing water. Waters can hide rocks, trees and debris.

A troubling trend for the Wisconsin football continues when it comes to the NFL Draft.
In the past, it was common for Wisconsin football players to be taken early and often over the three days of the draft, but recently, the number of Badgers being taken is dwindling. And when they are, they have been late Day 3 picks.
This year the program hit rock bottom. Not one Badger got drafted in 257 selections, the first time since 1978. There was a thought that maybe a few Badgers would be picked late, but they all went undrafted.
But that doesn’t mean those players football dream is over.
As soon as that last pick is announced, players are agreeing to sign on with teams as undrafted free agents (UDFAs). As was the case with many other former Wisconsin Badgers, these players will have a shot to make an NFL roster in 2026 the hard way.
Here is where every Badger landed as an undrafted rookie after the NFL Draft was completed.
