Oliver Tulk’s first season as a member of the Wisconsin men’s hockey team was, as he put it, “surreal.” The Badgers not only returned to the NCAA Tournament but made a dramatic push all the way to the national championship game before suffering a 2-1 loss to Denver.

Tulk found himself right in the thick of that success as a freshman. He appeared in all 39 games and finished with seven goals and 17 assists. His 24 points ranked fifth on the team.

In the latest Badger Connect Podcast with Mike Heller, Tulk discusses his path from Canada to Wisconsin, his freshman season, looking ahead to his sophomore campaign and more. You can view the full episode here:
