I just ran into former Wisconsin forward Pete Talafous downstairs here at the Pepsi Center. His company, Total Hockey, is doing the dirty work for the Frozen Four Skills Challenge tonight, setting up the events.

He said he and his father, Dean, run the company out of Hudson, developing hockey skills with on-ice and off-ice workouts. They have a bunch of locations around the country.
