Celebrating Blake Montgomery: A Star on Ice
In a thrilling twist of fate that could only happen in sports, Blake Montgomery, a rookie sensation for the Wisconsin Badgers hockey team, has been named the Big Ten First Star of the Week! This announcement comes after the fresh-faced forward helped lead his team to an electrifying sweep over their border rival, Minnesota. Talk about a big win, right? It’s like finding out your favorite pizza place has a two-for-one deal - just the kind of news you want to hear!
Blake's Weekend Highlights
Over the weekend, Montgomery demonstrated talent that would make a seasoned pro blush. He scored three goals within two games! The ice was practically his dance floor as he lit up the scoreboard on both Thursday and Saturday. In Thursday's opener, Montgomery showcased his agility, putting the puck in the net after receiving a slick pass from fellow freshman Vasily Zelenov. Then, just a few days later, he scored twice in a stunning 21 seconds during the third period of Saturday’s game. Talk about breaking records faster than a kid can finish a candy bar!
A Badger's Journey
It’s not just Montgomery’s on-ice skills that have brought him recognition; this honor also marks his first personal accolade since joining the Badgers. But let’s not just chalk it up to luck! A two-point weekend makes him statistically tied for eighth place among all rookies in the nation. Maybe he should start printing business cards. “Blake Montgomery: Future Hockey Legend!” We’d buy those cards just to cheer him on!
Montgomery’s Impact on the Team
The buzz surrounding Montgomery is not just about numbers; it’s his energy that elevates his entire team. You can almost hear the camaraderie from the stands as he and his teammates rally. Montgomery is currently tied in scoring among the Badgers with senior forward Simon Tassy. If Blake keeps this up, we might see a statue of him outside the Kohl Center, right next to Bucky!
The Road Ahead: Michigan Awaits
But the excitement doesn't stop! Montgomery and the No. 10/9 Badger men's hockey team will be hitting the road to face off against the formidable No. 2 Michigan in their first conference matchup away from home. Will our boy Blake continue his scoring streak? One can almost hear the cheers ringing through the ice as high as the Wisconsin sky! It’s like the suspense before the classic “Will they, or won’t they?” scenario in a rom-com.
