Former UW captain returns to Madison to join women’s hockey staff
MADISON, Wis. – Former Wisconsin women's hockey captain Sis Paulsen has been named the program's interim director of operations and equipment manager, UW head coach Mark Johnson announced this week.
As interim director of hockey operations and equipment manager, Paulsen takes on travel arrangements, equipment needs and a wide variety of duties.
"I am honored to be back home at the University of Wisconsin," Paulsen said. "Some of the best years of my life were here as a player and it is a privilege to come back as a part of such a professional staff. I would like to thank Coach Johnson, senior associate athletic director Jason King and the entire staff for giving me this opportunity and welcoming me back to my home state."
Paulsen arrives at UW from Morristown, New Jersey where she served as the Director of Girls Hockey for the New Jersey Colonials organization as well as a USA Hockey Girls/Women's Section Representative for the Atlantic District.
Paulsen also served as an assistant coach with the New York Riveters in Newark, New Jersey during the 2016-17 season, and a head coach for New England College from 2009 to 2013.
A member of UW's inaugural team in 1999, Paulsen is no stranger to the WCHA, as Paulsen served as an assistant coach at Minnesota State for a season following a three-year stint at Bemidji State.
During her UW career, Paulsen was a three-year team captain, the only player in program history to serve as the team's captain for three-straight years. The Eau Claire, Wisconsin native was a member of the WCHA All-Rookie team in 2000 and an All-WCHA selection in 2003.
The blueliner ended her UW career with 130 points on 42 goals and 88 assists, a program best by a defenseman. In addition, her 130 points rank 15th in school history among all skaters.
Paulsen received a degree from Wisconsin in human development and family studies before earning a master of science in sports and recreation management from New England College in 2011.
