Team Biography

The UW-Madison ultimate team was founded in 1977. Upon its creation, the team immediately began to establish a great winning tradition with nine conference championships and five final four finishes in regional play. Between 1977 and 1988, the team had an overall record of 347 wins and 189 losses. Since 2001, the Wisconsin Hodags have three national titles and six finals appearances. The biggest advantage the Hodags have, though, is found in the team’s motto, “Hodag Love.” Put simply, the Hodags are a family that loves and supports one another both on and off the field. The Hodags aren’t just one or two star players, and they aren’t a passing fad; they are a proven system. From the youngest rookie bursting with potential to the oldest alumnus who wishes he were still in uniform, the Hodags are a family who will continue to write their stories into ultimate history for many years to come.
