The Carolina Hurricanes clinched the 2026 Stanley Cup, delivering a four‑game‑to‑two victory that added another chapter to the Badgers' impressive lineage of champions.

From Ryan McDonagh's back‑to‑back triumphs to Chris Chelios and Brian Rafalski's three‑cup legacies, the Badgers have produced more championship winners than any other collegiate program.

Cole Caufield, a former University of Wisconsin hockey player, won the NHL's Lady Byng Trophy for sportsmanship and excellence, setting a new standard for Badgers in the league with 51 goals and helping his Montreal Canadiens reach the Eastern Conference Final.
