Home attendance

Wisconsin led all NCAA Division I women's ice hockey programs in both average and total home attendance, averaging 3,136 spectators and totaling 43,910 spectators. This marked the fourth consecutive season in which Wisconsin led in these attendance metrics. [2]

The 14,361 spectators at the February 16 home game against St. Cloud State at the Kohl Center was (at the time) the second-highest attendance in the history of NCAA Division I women's ice hockey, behind only the 15,359 spectators that had attended Wisconsin's January 14, 2017 home game against St. Cloud State at the same venue.
