We will be reviewing the 2020 season data over the next few days and plan to send a more detailed recap of the season later this week. We commend the dedicated spearers who spent countless hours on the ice this year honoring one of Wisconsin’s most unique traditions. Congratulations to those who saw success and we’re already looking forward to 2021! |
