2024 – Benjamin Wenkman

Benjamin “Benji” Wenkman played forward for the Madison West Regents and was team captain his senior year.  He played youth hockey for the Madison Polar Caps.  In 2022 he was on the team representing WEHL Hockey in the U16 Tier II National Hockey tournament. Benji also played baseball for West and is an avid fisherman.  When not playing hockey, baseball or fishing, Benji found time to volunteer at multiple food banks, work part time at a local restaurant, provide lawn maintenance and snow removal services. 

 As team captain his hockey coach described him as a top “glue guy” and that “his practice and games look the same.  He makes us better in practice and is hard for other teams to play against.  He starts competing as soon as he walks in the door of the ice arena.” 

Benji graduated with High Honors from Madison West and will be enrolling in the kinesiology program at UW-Madison this fall.
