Though their 2020 season was another COVID-19 casualty, Eau Claire Express Baseball still won the hearts of our readers for the seventh consecutive year. Watching the Express at Carson Park and the fireworks after was a sorely missed piece of summer. Chippewa Valley Roller Derby’s 10th season, “A Decade of Derby,” was also cut short, but that didn’t stop our readers from voting them into second place. Chippewa Steel Hockey gave us something to look forward to this year, stealing our hearts with the puck and just sliding by UW-Eau Claire Hockey to take third place. –Ashly Curtis
