Ty Emberson is outnumbered.
The freshman defenseman for the University of Wisconsin men’s hockey team followed his father’s path from Eau Claire to Madison.
The rest of his family has ties to Minnesota, including a grandfather who’s in the Golden Gophers’ athletics hall of fame.
With Emberson playing in a Border Battle series for the first time this weekend, the divide is real.
“I grew up split right in the middle,” Emberson said. “But this weekend’s going to be great. I’m going to have family come down, have a couple friends come down, so it’s going to be fun.”
