Phil Uihlein ’68 grew up with a hockey stick in hand at all times, and it showed in his prowess on the ice. Former USM hockey coach Tony Fritz described Uihlein as the best player he ever coached in his career. Uihlein was a leading scorer, known for breaking many of his own records. He was an MVP twice in hockey and football. When not playing hockey, he could be found on the baseball and football fields, where he also earned all-conference honors in football. Following graduation, Uihlein matriculated to the University of Wisconsin-Madison for hockey. In 1971 he was drafted by the St. Louis Blues, and in 1976 he was invited to try out for the Olympics. He also played for his home team, the Milwaukee Admirals.
