Five head-to-head match-ups with the country’s best collegiate, national, and pro-am teams will be covered by UWBadgers.com and two Canadian university websites between August 21stand August 26th.

The second game to be streamed will come on August 25. Ryerson University’s website will broadcast a contest from Mattamy Athletic Center at 7PM between themselves and the Badgers.
