In his junior campaign, the defenseman led the WIAC with 36 points on 10 goals and a conference-best 26 assists in 36 games.
A two-time all-WIAC first-team selection, Hausinger was the 2021 recipient of the WIAC's Max Sparger Men's Ice Hockey Scholar-Athlete Award following his senior season.
Prior to his collegiate career, Hausinger played in 164 games over three seasons with five different junior clubs. Most notably, Hausinger recorded seven goals and 24 assists in 59 games with the Odessa Jackalopes of the North American Hockey League in 2014-15.
