Wisconsin wins 8th Women's hockey title

[SEWIGuy]

In 2002, Mark Johnson of Miracle on Ice fame, was an assistant on the University of Wisconsin men's hockey team. He was passed over for the head gig when the coach retired, but agreed to take over the women's program. 22 seasons later, he has won 8 national titles. The coach who passed him over DID win a men's championship, but the program has struggled since.

His dad, Bob Johnson, built the UW men's program from scratch and also coached in the NHL for the Flames and Penguins, winning a Stanley Cup with the latter.

Great job by the women's hockey team. Helps to make up for the men's basketball team flaming out in the tournament.
