Rob Lurtsema has finally picked a sport. Up until now he has been playing football and hockey for the Badgers. He was redshirted from football last year because of back surgery, and he has played more football than hockey, but he has decided to drop football and concentrate on hockey. He has only skated one game for the Badgers, an exhibition game against Sweden. He did not play hockey his senior year in high school, but the Dallas Stars still saw potential and drafted him in the eighth round.
