Badgers hockey: Blake Geoffrion Hockey Classic adds Hilary Knight, Jessie Vetter - Madison.com
Andy Baggot Andy Baggot has been on the Wisconsin State Journal sports staff since 1978, when he was thrilled to be hired to take prep scores over the telephone. Now a columnist and the beat writer for the UW men’s hockey team, Baggot also covers the UW athletic department. Joining prominent players from the University of Wisconsin men’s hockey program will be two decorated members of the UW women’s program. Two-time Olympians Hilary Knight and Jessie Vetter have said they will be in uniform for the benefit designed to raise money for the UW Health Burn Center. One-third of the admissions to the UW Health Burn Center are children 17 or younger. The facility is among those in the U. S. verified by the American Burn Association and the American College of Surgeons to provide optimal burn care for both adults and children. Rosters for the exhibition haven’t been set, but two current NHL standouts — center Joe Pavelski of San Jose and center Derek Stepan of the New York Rangers — will serve as captains.
