Napkin:
College Education
Wisconsin defenseman Cody Goloubef wasn't able to
help the Badgers over the last two weeks as he was on assignment
with Canada's national team at the World Juniors. He was the lone
collegian on a roster otherwise entirely comprised of Canadian Hockey
League (major junior) players.
As the team bonded and got to know one another, we
figured that there were some obvious questions for Goloubef about
the nuances of college hockey, and present them this week. | Found
