MADISON, Wis. -- With the first game of the men's hockey season just five weeks away, we begin to look at the newest members of the Badgers, by getting to know their likes, dislikes and personalities a little better.
We begin with defenseman Patrick Daly: Daly comes to Wisconsin straight out of Benilde- St. Margaret's where he garnered first-team all-conference and all-state honors his senior season. The Victoria, Minn., native was a 2011 Minnesota Mr. Hockey finalist and was drafted in the seventh round (189th overall) of the 2011 NHL Entry Draft by the New Jersey Devils. Daly, an honor roll student, was also twice named to the all-conference team in baseball and was named team MVP in center field his senior season.
