A slew of Wisconsin Badgers men's hockey players are headed to the National Hockey League's 2026 development camp.

Officially, the day's announcements started with Zach Schulz, Daniel Hauser, and Quinn Finley, who are headed to the Islanders for their 2026 development camp.

Ultimately, that was just the beginning. The Philadelphia Flyers will be welcoming Grady Deering to camp, but plenty of other NHL teams are all-in on the Badgers.

In total, that's only one-third of the players who are looking to make a name for themselves at the next level. By the end of Monday, June 29, Wisconsin men's hockey revealed there were 12 Badgers participating in development camps across the NHL.
