Officials from the Village of Plover have found a new way to welcome motorists entering the village on Highway B.
The new “Welcome to Plover- Home of Joe Pavelski” sign was unveiled Wednesday, with Pavelski’s family in attendance.
Pavelski, a Plover native and SPASH graduate affectionately known as “Plover’s son”, began his professional career in the National Hockey League playing for the San Jose Sharks in 2006. He was chosen for the 2010 and 2014 USA Olympic Hockey team, but in 2014 lost the bronze medal to Finland.
Joe is the son of Mike and Sandy Pavelski, who reside in Plover.
