LD Eddie Wittchow - Wisconsin, NCAA (2011, 154th, FLA)

[Brock]

Would love some information/updates about defenseman Eddie Wittchow (Panthers 6th rounder in 2011).

Great size on the blueline, heading to a great school (Wisconsin) and seems to be having a solid year in his first USHL season (among the leaders in +/-).

Brock......being a Badger fan I watched Eddie pretty closely that last couple times Waterloo came to Cedar Rapids. He is definately a big blueliner that is more of a shut down defenseman then a scorer. He isnt going to dazzle you with stick handling or a rocket of a shot, but he will be the guy that throws a big check, stops an odd man rush, and wins the puck battle in the corner for his team. As a Roughrider fan I have to hate him this year, but really excited to see him as a Badger.

Awesome. Thanks for the info.

Here is a good article on Eddie. Sounds like he has a good head on his shoulders.

Eddie Wittchow destroys Tom Novak

 

[McMozesmadness]

Massive hit. That was 90% the passers fault.

Also looked a bit high.

He got a total of three games for it because he's a repeat offender. Novak is our 1C and is now out with a concussion. Not sure it needed its own thread, though.

This was one of three brutal cheap shots by uw in the game. Notice the score. They are a laughing stock so it's becoming more common from them.
