- Director of Player Development
U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame inductee, UW Athletic Hall of Fame-member and 18-year NHL veteran forward Joe Pavelski serve as Wisconsin's Director of Player Development.
The leading scorer for UW's 2006 NCAA championship team and an All-American at Wisconsin, the Plover native was a 2003 seventh-round draft pick of the San Jose Sharks at No. 205 overall.
Pavelski finished his NHL career in 2024 as the all-time points leader among Badgers in the NHL with 476 goals and 1,068 points in 1,332 games played. He added 74 goals and 143 points in 201 playoff games, leading two teams to the Stanley Cup Final, including San Jose in 2016 when he led the NHL with 14 playoff goals and the Dallas Stars in 2020 when his 13 goals were one shy of the league lead.
Pavelski holds the NHL's American record with 74 playoff goals and is one of just five skaters in NHL history to eclipse 1,000 career points who were drafted in the seventh round or after.
A two-time U.S. Olympian (2010, 2014) and 2010 silver medalist, Pavelski captained Team USA at the 2016 World Cup of Hockey and competed at the 2009 World Championship.
Pavelski owns a Wisconsin State Boys Hockey title with Stevens Point Area High School and a Clark Cup title with the USHL's Waterloo Black Hawks.
Off the ice, Pavelski excels on the golf course, winning the 2025 American Century Championship celebrity golf tournament at Lake Tahoe in California and the celebrity division of the 2025 Hilton Grand Vacations Tournament of Champions in Orlando, Florida. He's also placed as runner-up on three occasions and finished in third place once at the American Century Championship.
