The 2025 Patty Kazmaier Memorial Award winner as the top player in NCAA Division I women's ice hockey is University of Wisconsin fifth-year forward Casey O’Brien.
O'Brien, a graduate student from Milton, Mass., leads the Badgers in scoring this season with 26 goals and 62 assists for 88 points in 40 games, the highest-scoring season of her five-year NCAA career. She is also the top scorer in Wisconsin hockey history, men and women, all-time with 94-175—269 points in 179 outings, and the sixth Badger to win the Kazmaier Award, the first since 2017.
O'Brien's Wisconsin teammates, Laila Edwards and Caroline Harvey, were the other two finalists this year for the award, which is named for the late Princeton University star and all Ivy League honoree from the 1980s.
Wisconsin (37-1-2 overall) will now face WCHA rival Ohio State (29-7-3) on Sunday (4 p.m. ET, ESPNU) in the national title game for the third straight year.
