For the 148th time in the last three years, another high school hockey coach has been replaced. While a lot of the replacements are due to coaches retiring, moving or personal reasons, there are a handful that have stemmed from parent, player and coach relationships. The most recent being Jeff Pauletti, the former coach of the Roseville High School boys’ hockey team.
At a board meeting on May 8, Pauletti announced he would resign as the head coach after allegations of bullying and intimidating kids were brought on against him. The only problem is, these allegations were untrue, according to Pauletti.

Anna Westmark of Appleton United Girls Hockey Team was named Ms. Hockey Wisconsin on March 1 at the Wisconsin State High School Tournament as a Senior and Captain of the Appleton United Girls Hockey Team. The selection of Ms. Hockey Wisconsin is by vote of the Wisconsin coaches.The other finalists were Katherine Nejedlo (Fond du Lac), Kendall Nelson (Tomahawk) and Macki Fadness (Eau Claire).
